Lightning Tournament
After the first night of play it seems one of the three front runners will take the Lightning Crown for 2011.
Other played well, although Allegro runner-up Jim Petrie saying that the time control was a little too fast for his liking.
Promising junior Marcus Porter came for his first night at the club and put in a creditable performance.
