Ashby 2 finally got off the mark on Tuesday with a 2.5 - 1.5 win at fellow strugglers Market Harborough. With both Chris and Steve missing from the usual Ashby 2 team, Tom and Nick stepped in to fill their places. And fill them they did, with both of them winning their games on boards 2 and 5 respectively. Paul had a great win on board 1 against Ashby old boy Andrew Faulds and Team Captain Larry chipped in with a good draw on board 3. With 3 matches left to play it is still mathematically possible for the team to avoid relegation. It's a big ask but with matches against Melton Mowbray (twice) and Braunstone, who are both just above us, still to play it's not impossible.
