Well done, club,
Tonight was a night to remember:
First, the Wolves League A team beat Boldmere St. Michaels 5-1, with wins from John, Colin, Iain and Geoff and draws from Trevor and Gareth. Our opponents were not at full strength, but we kept the pressure on all night and played pretty much to form,
In the other match, our 'rookie' D team were away to the 'experienced' Coddon B, the division 3 leaders, and (WAIT FOR IT) won 3.5 - 1.5. Congratulations go to the team, to winners Jason (over George Viszokai), Andy and Neil and to Tim for drawing. Admittedly there was a certain amount of luck in at least 1 game (Neil's opponent responded to a pawn capture and check by offering his congratulations and resigning before Neil realised that his own Rook could apply mate in one). So the D team potentially move into clear 2nd place. I remember Jamie and others back in September talking about winning promotion in the very first year of existence; I know there is a long way to go, but maybe, just maybe.
Don't forget that we close down for Christmas and New Year; the next club night will be on 7th January when our B and C teams play their return match.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Iain
