Full Results of Junior Tournament
The Gap club won all 5 games against the visiting side comprising of old club stalwart Ray Adams and 4 of his friends from the BCF. Despite the one-sidedness of the result, a whitewash it certainly was not. All games were hotly contested and a few went right down to the wire. Time controls were 90 minutes on the clock to make all moves.

45 Minute tournament 2002 results in detail
A few games were played with James having an amazing run of success, unparalleled in anything that had gone before. At one stage he was involved in 4 successful pairings. Two of the BCF visitors, Luke and Brendan (a transfer novice) stayed for a few transfer games, and everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable time. While the results were shared around and everyone had a few wins, James seemed be involved in a disproportional number of winning pairings. Has the tide turned??
