Despite losing the first two club matches, the Sacramento Bishops of Honor want to battle a third time. The first match finished close at 7.5 to 6.5, but the second went to the Sacramento Pawns by 9.0 to 5.0. Can the Pawns three-peat or will the Bishops preserve their Honor? Join us for yet another friendly Club Match on Friday evening.
