On Tuesday 7 August, eight students from MLMC from Years 7-11 went toe-to-toe with a team of visiting Luther College students in our third annual interschool chess tournament. The event was hosted in the McAuley Library this year, with laughs and pizza for everyone.
Our MLMC representatives gave it their best, however, we were outclassed on the day by a very strong Luther team which was fresh from winning the EISM championship. Among the MLMC players were (pictured) Ethan Prentice, Will and Edward Cerini, as well as Frankie Salomone, Emma Di Paolo, Karen Laan, Chris Fox and also Jack Woodward (not pictured).
An honourable mention must go to Chris Fox (Year 10 Purple) who only lost one game from eight, scoring 6½ points against a very formidable team. MLMC looks forward to next year’s tournament, with hopes of recapturing the trophy back from Luther College.
