Every member of the squad is putting in the effort and trying their best at the board. Despite a tough start against England where points were hard to come by, the squad started picking up a few good points in round 2. The under 12's drew 3-3 with the Welsh. Euan Gray and Ben Volland winning and Euan Dawson and Callum Smith drawing.
Although we have four teams playing, the kids are united as one big squad, looking out for each other, helping each other and working together. At one end of the spectrum Ali Roy is leading by example and at the other end of the age divide Euan Gray is also making sure his teamates are okay and are enjoying the event, while posting two wins on the top board.
In the under 14's Leston D'Costa also has a 100% record.
Our Gilbert team are learning fast and although they are all inexperienced at this level, are showing signs in he post-match analysis that they all have potential. Heather Lang has been working with all the girls today not just on the games they have played and are about to play but with a view to the longer term, with advice and ideas for improving their game when the tournament is over.
The tireless efforts of Heather and Matthew Turner, who has also been fantastic with our players as usual, is greatly appreciated and will undoubtedly help the squad members in both the immediate future and the longer term.
It is going to be another tough two days but everyone in the squad is stepping up for the challenge. It might be a team that's a bit raw and inexperienced, with a good number of them playing up the boards but it's also a team with heart, courage and just a little bit of fearlessness.
