LWUA fields 5 teams

As previously reported, the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) fielded five teams in the ongoing 2009 National Inter-Cities and Municipalities chess team championship in Metro Town Mall in Tarlac City.

Amazing gesture of zest for chess. The good thing is that two of the five teams are composed of very young chess players.

LWUA's Team E, for instance, is manned by Vince Angelo Medina (Board 1), Jerad Docena (Board 2), Paulo Bersamina (Board 3), and Giovanni Mejia (Board 4). If I'm not mistaken, they are all under 12 years old.

This very young team played against the Lingayen Team on the opening day and scored 1.0 courtesy of Bersamina.

LWUA Chairman Prospero Pichay deserved an applause for fielding the country's young talents in that high level of chess competition.
