Steve Crockett retains title in 2012-3 Rapid GP

Nearly two hundred players participated in one of the MCCU counties' rapidplay tournaments. Twenty players competed in 3 or more events.

23 Jun. The final Nottingham resuls show the gaps between top players are narrowed, but Steve has another splendid win.
2 Apr. After the Manchester results, Steve Crockett (Redditch, Worcs) still leads, but Philip Shaughnessy (Urmston, GMC) is second within striking distance as are joint third placed Sam Beardmore (Cheddleton, Staffs) and Robert McClean (3Cs, Oldham, GMC). There is one more event to come, Nottingham on 23 June.
7 Feb. The Stockport RP results are now in and Steve Crockett (Redditch, Worcs) has extended his lead over Philip Shaughnessy (Urmston, GMC). Sam Beardmore, the junior from Cheddleton & Leek, Staffs is third.
1 Jan. The late results from Leamington have now been received and added to those from Bury. Steve Crockett (Redditch, Warks) is 3½ points clear of second placed Jacob Boswell (Cheddleton & Leek, Staffs) but needed an extra event to be first placed at the half way stage. Pursuers are: Phillip Shaughnessy (Urmston, GMC) with 8½ points from 3 events and Clive Pemberton on 8 points from 2 events.
