'We were disappointed he just missed out on the semi finals by two seconds.'
James Ireland took on some of the world's top competitors in the UK Cubing Championships held at the Coventry Building Society arena.
His previous best was 25 seconds - sadly his effort meant he missed out on a place in the semi final by just two seconds. In an exhausting day on Saturday, James also finished just over one second outside the qualifiers in the 2x2 event which he completed in 4.55 seconds and also took part in the,the Skewb and Pyraminx, scoring a personal best of 10.83 in the latter.
"The highlight of the day for James was his new higher 3x3 ranking, his first ever scores for the pyraminx and skewb and getting to have a sit down with Max who was incredibly friendly and helpful."
