Hello. We're back. Welcome to the new season
Recent matches. Same sad story
Our run of collective poor form has unfortunately continued into April. Our last match win was 18 March At the end of March the A, D, and F teams all lost (here, here, and here).Only Derek and Scott managed to get a full point from their individual games. This week B, D, and F teams …
A couple of match wins. Wonders.
Four matches last week and a slightly better story to tell with two wins and two defeats. The B team mathematically secured their division 2 status with a win over University B. Andy and Brent picked up full points. Match card here The C team did what they needed to do against Downend D to win 4.5-1.5 and go …
The last three weeks
We’ve been on a collectively dreadful run the last three weeks. Nine losses, one draw a solitary win. The A team drew with Bath B including a win for Phil on top board! The B team’s aspirations of a top two finish were ended by defeats to Downend B and then Bath C. The D …

No home comfort (weakened B and D teams struggle)
Two home matches this week. Two defeats. It was, to be honest, a struggle to find 12 available players this week. As it turned out Piotr, one of our dirty dozen, lost his exhaust on the way to the club leaving us with eleven. Fortunately Kristian was brave enough to step up to fill the …
