We've made a very good start to our friendly with Islas Malvinas where we lead 9.5 - 8.5 despite being outgraded on most of the boards. This 28 board friendly would be a really good one to win.

An unusually heavy defeat, especially for a match with a limited grading, after Kentucky made it 8-2 with a timeout defeat for PhilJR.

We've lost in the U1500 match against Glamorgan where the score is currently 2.5 - 8.5. An unusually heavy defeat but Glamorgan are a new club and their gradings were probably a little underestimated. You can't win 'em all !

A win for Daznet has given us a 20.5 - 17.5 lead over Ocean Guardians in a 23 board match. Always close fought affairs these matches with a high number of boards are really good for improving our overall club ranking. We've been held up close to the line in two other friendlies with GG losing against Knights of the Realm where we need one more point and a defeat for David makes it 11-7 against Nova Scotia where we need just half a point.

We've made promising starts to two big friendlies with a 20-15 lead against Islas Malvinas and a 20-8 lead against Checkers, Draughts, Chess. Too many individual victories to mention here I'm afraid. We've also started pretty quickly against Hertfordshire where we lead 10-5 already.

A win for Phil and a win and a defeat for Rupert take the Islas Malvinas score to 25.5 - 26.5 in the very large 28 board match. Obviously a win in this friendly would bring us useful points to help us climb the club ladder.

Wins for QueenOilyFace, Brendan and Philchilla and a draw for Redknight have taken us over the line against Oregon with a score of 15-6. Two timeout wins for Jimmer couldn't prevent defeat in the match with Ambitious Pawn. Score is now 10-15. A win for Daznet keeps alive our hopes in the Run With The Wolf match where the score is now 12-13 with 3 games to finish.

Two wins for Martyn, one for Richard and a draw for Katherine have taken us over the line in the match against Nicaragua. The score is now 10-5 in the 8 board match.
We won't be playing World Beauties and Pretty Boys again. After many or our members were disappointed because our opponents got so few players signed up, we have won the two board match after Logsy won both her games on timeouts and Darren won his first game.
