Somerset Wyvern v Renfrewshirehttps://www.chess.com/club/matches/somerset-wyvern/1090484

Sorry my post of an hour ago described our win over Hampshire as a First Division match when in fact it was in the First Round of the 2020 Cup Competition. Apologies.

Somerset over the line in their Round 2 match with Northern Knights, 10.5 - 1.5 in the 10 board match.

Thanks, the table is up-to-date

Somerset Wyvern's match with Yorkshire Terriers is underway with a very impressive 26 players in each team. Good luck to everyone. https://www.chess.com/club/matches/1097946

Looks a tough match.

Yes, Richard, you're right. Yorkshire seem to have the advantage on the top 13 boards and Somerset the higher grades on the lower 13. I just think it's great to have so many members playing.

Agreed
