This year's Central League Allegro, held today in Grangemouth, was the biggest yet, with 55 players taking part.

Prize winners were:

1= Stephen Burns-Mannion 4½/5
1= Roddy McKay 4½/5

3= Graeme Kafka 4/5
3= Kenny McGeoch 4/5
3= Ewan Taylor 4/5
3= Mark Sanderson 4/5
3= Chris Sykes 4/5
(Kenny, Ewan, Mark and Chris were also eligible for the 1550 - 1800 grading prize, so I lumped the two prizes together and rounded the money up to a reasonable sum.)

Grading Prize 1300 - 1500 =
David Hewitt, Harvey Kelly, Walter Pearson, Daniele Ferri, Andrew McCusker - all 3/5
(Andrew was actually in the under-1300 grading group, but I couldn't let him go away empty-handed when people on the same score in the higher group were getting money.)

Grading Prize under 1300:
Chris King 3½/5

Junior Prize:
Miguel Espinosa 3½/5
(Chris and Miguel were in the same grading group, so I rounded the Junior Prize up to match the Grading Prize.)

I'll probably input the results to the grading program tomorrow - it's been a long day today!
