Division 2 Results: 0.5 : 3.5
A very exciting match, for one reason, our new recruit Ali arrived at the club last Monday and was willing to play chess for us - no less than chess international master. Match was against the only team that we lost to in 2017 and with Ali on board one, we had a very good win indeed. As it stands his participation will have a big impact on the season's outcome. At the moment we are at the top of Division 2, 3 points clear and looking forward to the next match.
Captain, Paul Errington
