Club Championship Results
There were 4 games played in the 4th round of the Club Championship last night, with Tom Dove beating Larry Hayden, Richard Vann beating Patrick Buckley, Les Fancourt beating Ollie Fordham and Neil Roberts drawing with Paul Mayer. Tom Dove now leads the field with 3.5/4, but this may well change after Tom Gerrard and Roy Evans play their 4th round game.

Ashby 2 Beaten At Market Harborough In Harrod Cup
Ashby 2 were beaten 4.5 - 3.5 by Market Harborough 3 in the Harrod Cup last night. We won the first round of games by 2.5 - 1.5 but slumped badly in the second half, losing 3 of the 4 games. The only bright spot of the evening was Steve scoring 1.5/2 on top board. This result leaves us in second from bottom place, but we have avoided the Wooden Spoon as bottom Club Loughborough have a vastly inferior Game Point Difference.
2025/2026 Fixture List
I have made a start on uploading the 2025/2026 LRCA fixtures onto the Club Calendar and have so far done Ashby 1 and Ashby 2. I should have completed Ashby 3/4/5 by the end of the week. You can click here to view the Club Calendar or use the tab at the top of the page.
