COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP KNOCK OUT CUP 2024 ROUND 2

Our first opponents in the 2024 Knock Out Cup are Leicestershire and Rutland, who defeated Cornwall in Round 1 for the honour of meeting TFS; we were seeded straight in to Rd 2 based on reaching the QFs in the 2023 tournie.

Leics and Rutland are an improving club having just won promotion to Div 4. We underestimate them at our peril; just take a look at their top 10 rated Members https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/county-championship-knock-out-cup-2024
