?1- Scottish Junior Championship
Azlan Amjad was the highlight of the Scottish Junior Championship when he reached the final of the Under 17 event. Although he finished runner up, he gave the newly crowned British Junior U17 Champion form Peru a very good match and ultimately went down 3/1.
Aspire student Umair Zaman finished the highest position in 6th place, which has benefited the position of Aspire Academy in the tournment with the outstanding performance in such challenging games.
The result of Aspire Academy Students were as the following:
Name of Player Category Final Position
AZLAN AMJAD B U 17 2nd
UMAIR ZAMAN B U 17 6th
ABDULWAHAB AL-ISHAQ B U 17 12th
ABD EL-AZIZ OMEIRA B U 15 12th

HAMAD AL-AMRI B U 13 13th
FAISAL AL-MARRI B U 19 28th
2- British Junior Open
The only one competing in the British tournament was graduate Abdulla Al-Tamimi. Abdulla won a few matches to finish in 20th position which, although a reasonable placing, was not as good as he had been hoping.
