Cynthia Pughsley won 7 of 8 games to take first prize in Division A. Evan Koch placed second after a hard fought final game against Cynthia.
In Division B, Sandy Parry took first place with Tom Tremont coming in 2nd. But for a tied game, Tom may have prevailed. What a difference one more point can make!
In the Collins group, Isaac Apindi also won 7 of 8 games. Paula Catanese and Mary Stevens each had four wins going into the final game . . . Paula pulled off the win for second place, possibly due to the loving motivation from her personal mascot and 4-legged canine friend, Mac A. Roni. Heaven help us if Mary brings her cat along next time.
