Wayne Kelly Wins National National Scrabble Championships With Caromel Travails
WAYNE Kelly is the British National Scrabble Champion of 2011. Warrington Wayne beat Southampton’s Gary Oliver, 39, by way of words such as “caromel”. You , of course, know that caomel means to turn into caramel. It was worth 69 points. He also scored well (74 points) “travails”.
To Wayne go the title and a £2,000 cash prize at the event in central London.
Says he:
“I was really up against it for most of the competition. There were some tough games. I was really nervous about the final – it is so much easier to play when no-one else is watching your every move.”
You may recall Wayne from his showing as runner up on the 1994 Countdown season. He does:
“I really didn’t want to settle for second place again. I am so happy to have won.”
He is delighted, chuffed and maxifghyed – look it up.
