SAMUEL WINS THE ULTIMATE TABLES CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!
Last Friday, Samuel became the Ultimate Tables Champion of 5th class with an astonishing performance over the incredibly talented Daniel. In a match up that had become known as “The Rivalry”, Samuel and Daniel went head to head one last time to see who would take home the title. In a rematch of the multiplication championship final, which saw Daniel emerge the champion, we saw Samuel take his revenge and come out victorious in the superb occasion. Daniel gave it his all no doubt, proved an extremely worthy opponent and would have made a great champion should he have won. But it was Samuel’s day and the boy who has a incredible record of 7 seconds on mixed division, proved too much for the rest of the class and became our worthy champion.
