CCL wins at Clover Challenge

• As always we dominated in a scholastic event.  This tournament was designed more for the next generation of super heroes, than the present.  One of the strategies at this tournament was to develop a ‘hit squad’, we picked the 4 people that looked the scariest to walk around the tournament to intimidate our opponents, the 2^nd graders!

The Hit Squad

Alan, Viktor, Emma, and Jason

• 
• Jeremy sweep the field in the Open section, with a 4-0 score.  Stella (3^rd), Josh (5^th), Mark (6^th) and Vincent (7^th) all had 3-1 scores.  CCL was the 1^st place team.

• In the U-900 division, Soham finished in clear 2^nd place with a 4-1 score.  Abby, a last round win away from taking clear 1^st place finished in 5^th place with a 3.5 score.  CCL was the 1^st place team.
