Hampshire Congress: We have a new county champion.

26-year old Steven Kawuma, recently settled in Southampton, emerged half a point clear of the field at Eastleigh at the weekend, to win the silver rook and the title of county champion.

Former champion Mike Yeo made the early running, taking the sole lead after three rounds with 3 straight wins. But the turning point came in round four, when Mike played Steven. Steven has played international matches for Uganda in the recent past, and he unleashed a superb rook and queen sacrifice which obliterated all Mike's chances of a win. The game was drawn.

Mike drew the next 2 rounds, but Steven won both his, including a nail-biting finish in the last round, watched by a crowd of spectators including the Mayor of Eastleigh.
