Chess 1ST TEAM 1994 was an especially successful year due to the large number of junior players who made a commitment to Kearsney chess. This allowedus tomaintain ahigh stand ard despite the lack of experienced senior players. All those players who participated are encouraged to perse vere with their chess. There is every possibility that Kearsney will produce more players at representative level in the future. Chess is also recognised as an excel lent method of developing concentration, anticipation, logic and fighting spirit. The 1st Team could not repeat its outstanding feat of 1993 and regained its familiar position of 2nd place in the Highways League. It suffered only one loss, at the hands of traditional rival Westville Boys' High. Regular players: G. Hunter (capt.), A. Buchanan (v. capt.), M. Roper, R Davis, T. Sisson, D. Christie, J.
