Gold Coast High Schools Round 1, 2006

Despite strong, improved competition from schools like Merrimac High, All Saints, Kings Christian College and TSS, Somerset College have finished first in round one of the 2006 competition.

The stars of round one were arguably two girls, Alexandra Jule, the best performer on board one, and the only player in championship grade to score a perfect 7/7, Jessica Kinder.

In the open division, Hillcrest Christian College came first, from Varsity College and Emmanuel College. Zane Adams finished first ahead of Daniel Ford on tiebreak, both finishing on 6.5/7.

A total of 178 students participated in this first round for 2006.
