A round up of the results so far this year Firstly on the 2nd Jan, the E team went to Clifton and won very impressively 5-1 over an extended six board match. Joe and Kana continued their winning ways and were joined Jack and Mike who scored full points. Graham and Scott kept things steady on …

Last week our B team had a bit of a chastening experience against Clifton (who I notice followed it up with a comprehensive victory over Downend A this week).
