Established 1942. Seven times Bristol & District league Champions
The last game of the season and Horfield 'C' were already guaranteed at least 2nd place. With this in mind and knowing that Clevedon 'B' at the top of the table were likely to field a very strong team in their final match, we stuck with the same team that did so well during the …
At one time it looked like this match could decide the runners up spot. South Bristol gifting a 6-0 walkover to Downend, and a late run by Bath, meant that the best we could hope for was third, probably fourth. Still, we wanted to do the double over Downend A so we went into this …

During the course of our successful season we’ve had some fair slices of luck along the way. I can count at least 3 full point swindles in my own games! This match, although it finished 4.5 – 1.5 in our favour, was a good example of this luck, although perhaps we should also give ourselves …

(editors note - Apologies this is a late match report that I missed in my inbox so it is out of order with the others) With Clevedon 'B' beating South Bristol 'B' on Monday night, division 2 was turning into a very close 3 horse race. Horfield 'C' needed at least a draw to remain in contention …

Horfield C needed a win against Cabot A in order to secure a top two finish in division 2 but with Cabot fighting to remain in the division it looked like being a tricky fixture. However, by 9:30 Matias, Prakash and Tom had already won and the match was all but over. Prakash managed to …

After last weeks loss to Grendel, the Squad was rotated to bring in 4 different players for the match against a struggling Downend 'D' team. Christopher got the team off to a good start going a knight up into the end game which proved to much for his opponent who quickly resigned. Jon made an …

A pretty tactic on Board 6 won the match for Horfield B. Black to play and win. Our penultimate match and somehow we were on for 2nd place on Easter weekend if we managed a point - with the skipper away we stuck to our mantra of 'hold them on the top boards, beat them …
