Anthony Balshaw clinches Webserver Tournament Hat Trick!

Anthony has achieved his goal of winning the 6th and last Webserver Tournament to complete his hat trick of consecutive wins. I am sure you will all join with us in congratulating him on this achievement. It was a tough competition and it went down to the wire with three players in contention. In the end Anthony held on to win from Terry Taylor on SB count back! It cannot get any closer. For more   details please see the tournament table.

As the reigning BCCA Champion Anthony is having a tremendous year and must now have his sights set on the British Championship this year based on his current form.
