Match Report |
| Oct 12 | Elmwood | 1½ | 4½ | The 'Invincibles' are despatched with relative ease. Politics and other things have left them a depleted force. They may well struggle this season. We'll see.... |
| Oct 25 | Whitby | 2½ | 3½ | They turned up minus a player, and we graciously allowed them to default on the top board, resulting in their top board playing our 2nd and so on. It nearly cost us the bloody win too! |
| Nov 17 | Boro Rooks | 4½ | 1½ | While they're strong throughout, their lower order is particularly good, needless to say they scored three wins on the bottom boards. Well done to them. |
| Dec 6 | Darlington | 3 | 3 | Our three points all came from the top four boards. Darlo were missing a couple of players too. They're a pretty strong outfit this season. |
| Dec 20 | Athenaeum | 1½ | 4½ | We ended up playing this home fixture away. Home and away players made it to Peterlee but our place was double booked. Well done to Athenaeum for swiftly rearranging he match. |
| Jan 12 | Boro Wasps | 3½ | 2½ | Top of the table clash ends with us 'stung' by the Wasps! 'The Vitch' missed a # in 3 And Bruster actually lost for a change! It could've all been so different. Its not over yet though. |
| Feb 7 | Elmwood | 1 | 5 | A convincing victory. Elmwood are indeed struggling this season. They find themselves real relegation candidates. |
| Feb 19 | Whitby | 2½ | 3½ | Another narrow victory, Armbruster gets game of the night. Smith wins lucky get award for snatching a draw from the jaws of defeat. |
| Mar 7 | Boro Rooks | 1 | 5 | Sweet revenge, a rare demolition job of the Rooks. Simpson wins game of the night, closely followed by Smith. A couple of nice finishes. |
| Mar 27 | Darlington | 2½ | 3½ | No wins from the top four boards, and that with our strongest line-up this season too! But hey, its a team game after all. One of our two wins was a superb finish from 'too tall' on the bottom board. |
| Apr 9 | Athenaeum | 1½ | 4½ | That's five wins in a row. No really outstanding games to report, perhaps the best of the bunch was Carters win on board five. |
| Apr 23 | Boro Wasps | 3½ | 2½ | All games were finished save board 2, 'The Grinder' was in full flow, a pawn up, opponent with about a minute on the clock, swap Queens off to a winning ending, job done. He opted to threaten mate on g7, in the process allowing a helpmate on h1. The Wasps, amazingly, somehow finish the season unbeaten! |
