On Monday night our A Team took on Hanham A while the C Team took on Clevedon C - both at the Old Mill! Just as well because a miscommunication meant that the C Team were one player down - thankfully, Brad was there and able to fill in for us.
Hanham, who I understand were having some difficulties fielding a team and were asking for a postponement, suddenly signed up Tyson Mordue - a FIDE Master - to play for them.
First result of the night, for the C Team, was a fantastic win by Cinar in his first game for the club - there's a lot of talent there!
Oliver and Lana followed suit for the A Team both with fine positional wins with the English Opening. Soon after, our captain, Andrew, secured a draw. Unfortunately, despite, some very close games, the other three games went against us - and so Hanham won 3.5-2.5.
The C Team had three close games left but in the end all of went the other way. 3-1 to Clevedon.
Each match, we are getting closer as our players are gaining more match experience!
