Sam Crispin at World Youth Championship

Good luck to Sam Crispin representing the UK at this year’s World Youth Scrabble Championship in Kenya, which starts on Friday.

A later article continues this story: Sam Crispin second at World Youth Championship.

Links will be available once the tournament is underway.

This is Sam’s third attempt after two previous top 10 finishes — anyone who has played him knows he has potential to go all the way, but whatever the result, he’ll take it all in his stride!

As a club member, the Warrington Club will be cheering him on, but I am sure ABSP members will all be out in support.

Best of luck Sam!
