In this event we had a team of 4 girls in the under 9 section (year 4 and below) though all 4 of our players were from year 3. In the first round we had 1 win, 2 draws and a loss, and our score of 2/4 put us half way down. In the next round we had our best score, of 3.5 points and were suddenly in second place. In each of the last two rounds we scored 2/4 to end up with 9.5/16 for a very creditable 4th place. Since we can have the same team next year we hope to win some medals then. We also hope to enter other teams. Individual scores (from 4 games)
