U1450 Championship

Paul Mayer and Ric Dawson drew their 4th round match in the U1450 Championship earlier this evening. The draw for the 5th round has now been made and can be viewed here.

Due to Brian Wood's recent illness I have had to withdraw him from the competition, at least temporarily, although his results to date still stand. Should he recover sufficiently in the future I will re-instate him. He was due to play Dan Vernon in the 4th round so I have had to give Dan a full point bye.

Ashby Off To Winning Start In Wylie Cup

Ashby got off to a great start in the Wylie Cup last night with a 5.5 - 2.5 win at Thurnby. We won all four of the first round of matches, but didn't do so well in the second round, losing that by 2.5 - 1.5. However, it was still enough to see us safely over the line. The table shows us as being top with 2 wins. This is because we have a full point by in the last round. Click here for last night's match score card. Next up is another away match at Loughborough on a date to be agreed.
