Congratulations Quarryhill

 

 

The Quarryhill Primary School Chess Team (pictured above) has qualified for the final of the Scottish Junior Chess Primary Schools Teams Championship. This is the third time in three years that Quarryhill Primary has made it through to the final of a Scottish Primary teams’ event. The other finalists this year are Bothwell Primary School (Hamilton), St John’s Primary School (Glasgow), and Holy Cross Primary School (Croy, North Lanarkshire).

Last year, the Quarryhill team won the SJC Teams Championship, and the year before finished first equal with South Morningside (Edinburgh) and Robert Gordon’s in the CS Championship. The Edinburgh side were awarded the title, in controversial circumstances, on tie-break.

Quarryhill also have an excellent record in the Scottish P5 & Under Teams Championship. In 2002-03, the P5 team tied first equal with Millbank (Nairn), but lost the play-off. They went one better the following year 2003-04, winning the title, and have again made it through to this years 2005-06 final, along with local teams from Middlefield, Muirfield, and Cornhill.
