Leicestershire Autumn 2025

Isaac Corker delivered the weekend standout performance by conquering the Square-1 event with a blistering 6.33 winning average and a single of 5.26. Held at Lutterworth College across November 29 and 30, Leicestershire Autumn 2025 brought 96 competitors together for an intense weekend of puzzle solving across 18 rounds. While standard cubes drew large fields, the niche puzzles provided extraordinary drama and technical prowess across the board.

The 12-sided Megaminx and the mechanism-heavy Clock highlighted how diverse speedcubing has become in 2025. Daniel Partridge put on a masterclass in the Megaminx final, securing top honours with a winning average of 36.86 and a best single of 34.82 over Matt Stephenson and Cham J. Chambers. Meanwhile, the Clock event saw Danny Morgan take victory with a razor-thin 3.21 average, edging past Jacob Sherwen Brown and Caleb Wolf Dunn in a rapid display.

Blindfolded solving always demands total concentration, and Cham J. Chambers proved unmatched in 3x3x3 Blindfolded. Chambers recorded a winning single of 1:08.40 across two rounds, outpacing Isaac Corker and Sean Anthony Reynolds to claim the top podium spot. Chambers also doubled up on specialist titles by taking the 5x5x5 Cube final with a 47.53 winning average, ahead of Daniel Partridge and Danny Morgan.

Matt Stephenson showcased incredible speed on Skewb, taking the gold medal with a 3.52 average and a best single of 2.57. Tom Nugent finished in second place with a 3.63 average, while Daniel Partridge rounded out the podium with 3.83. The battle for the 4x4x4 Cube crown was equally tight, as Daniel Partridge snatched the win with a 27.80 average, just ahead of Harvie Partridge at 27.86 and Cham J. Chambers at 27.90.

This cubing competition in Lutterworth, Leicestershire, United Kingdom proved that whether competitors are solving standard three-layered cubes or tackling multi-layered and non-standard twisty puzzles, speed cubing talent runs deep across every discipline.

With all 27 podium positions claimed by competitors from the United Kingdom, Leicestershire Autumn 2025 concluded a memorable gathering for local speedcubers.
