FIRST CLASS PERFORMANCE!

Our 1st team have been battling to keep their place in the 1st division. 

We needed 1 point from our last 2 matches. These matches were against Horsham and Worthing – two of the strongest clubs in the league.

Needing a draw we took on Horsham at home on Friday 4th April. Howard, on our Board 1 and Andy on our board 2 each secured excellent draws during play, whilst the other two games were adjourned.

 Mike Hubbard’s game on Board 3 showed, after analysis, that he had a certain win.  Congratulations Mike!

 Analysis of Andrew’s game on Board 4 showed a certain draw. All-round sustained fine play from each member of the team.

Over the weekend Horsham agreed to these results so we won by 2.5 to 1.5.

 This result means that we remain in Division 1 and hopefully if our 2nd team can gain a draw from their final match on Friday 2nd May v Hastings 2 we will have 2 teams in division 1 next season.
