Bledisloe Cup 2024

We are competing in the Bledisloe Cup, a hybrid (online - ish) team tournament. We played our first match on September 3rd, against Hawkes Bay. We have two matches to go against Canterbury and Invercargill. I'll try and make sure there is information about these matches available here, ahead of time.

Our team is Nic Croad, Anthony Ker, Ryan Winter, David Cilia Vincenti, Ollie Archer, Layla Timergazi, Thomas van der Hoorn, Cohen Young, Nick Winsley, Ian Sellen, Kayden Loke, Luke Chang and Zachary Thirkell. We need to find 6 available players from this group for each match.

Many thanks to our team manager Aidan Malcolm for taking on the administrative burdens, he is doing an excellent job.

In our first match we won by 5.5 to 0.5. Some excellent chess was played as you can check out below.
