This year’s main N/national Schools' Championships in Association with Advanta Wealth will take place at Shrewsbury School from the 24-30th March. Read on to see the provisional timetable of events.
The Under 11, 12 & 13 Open Competitions and the Under 13, 14 & 15 Girls Competitions will have taken place at Eton earlier in the term. The structure of the Championships remains broadly the same as last year, except that ONE KNOCK-OUT ROUND for each competition which remains uncompleted after the previous day, will be played at 9.00 am for those staying at Shrewsbury, and at 10.00 am otherwise. There will be no finals day as such, and the final of each competition will be played the day following the semi-finals at a mutually agreed time.
