A win for Logsy has put us 5-2 up against Brittany.

A draw for GG makes the score against Zilinsky Kraj 8.5 - 4.5.

Against Nitriansky Kraj we are 5-6 down after two wins for ChrisTT and a good draw for Katherine.

In a good fightback we are now 7.5 - 6.5 up against Nitriansky Kraj after wins for Logsy and Rob and an excellent draw for Arnold.

Defeats for Tony, Peter and GG, however, have seen Bretagne Echecs pull back to 5-5.

A win for Nick and a draw for GG take us close to the line with Zilinsky Kraj. It's 10-5 with 1.5 points needed for victory.

We're also close to victory over Toscana too, where a win for James gives us a 15.5 - 9.5 with just a point needed to win.

A point from Charlie has taken us to the brink of victory against Zilinsky Kraj where we now lead 11-5 and just need another half point for victory.

Rob has also won in the match with Nitriansky Kraj. We now lead this one 8.5 - 6.5 with three more points needed to win.

Well done, Both !

Our Europa Cup match with old rivals Yorkshire Terriers has got off to an even start with Dave sharing the two points with his opponent on board 20.

Two wins for Rob have taken us into a 3-1 lead against Yorkshire while a defeat for GG makes the Nitriansky score 8.5 - 7.5. Well done, Rob. Head in shame GG !!

A second point for Charlie has given us our first victory in Europe. His win takes us to 12-5 against Zilinsky Kraj. Well done, Charlie ! We're close to victory against Toscana where we lead 15.5 - 10.5 despite GG's loss. And a win for Logsy and defeat for Arnold, massively outgraded, against Brittany keeps the score level at 6-6.

Our score against Yorkshire has deteriorated and is now 8-9. 5 wins for stalwarts Jim, Darren and GG were counteracted by 7 defeats. I'll spare those folks' blushes ! Still a long way to go !

We've also struggled against Brittany where we are now 6.5 - 9.5 down. I'll spare Rupert, Peter and GG's blushes but congratulate Tony on a good draw on board 1.

Oliver's half point against Toscana takes the score to 16-11 so we need just another half for victory.  Oliver's loss against Nitriansky Kraj has brought them level at 8.5 - 8.5 however.

Martyn's victory has given us our second win in this competition as we are 17-11 up against Toscana of Italy in the 16 board match. Not quite so favourable are the scores against Yorkshire and Nitriansky Kraj. Against Yorkshire defeats for Davidanthonyclarke and Daznet have put us 8-11 behind and against the Slovakians a defeat for GG makes the score 8.5 - 9.5.

Unfortunately our Europa Cup matches are not going as smoothly as our UK County matches. Defeats for Nick, Martyn and Rupert and two draws for Steve have put us 9-15 behind against Yorkshire. A defeat for Arnold and a win for Martyn have put us 9.5 - 10.5 behind against Nitriansky Kraj (they need just a point more) and defeats for Arnold and Rupert alongside wins for ChrisTT and Rupert put us 8.5 - 10.5 against Brittany 9they need 2 more points for victory.

For the first time we've gone down to defeat. Brittany have proved too strong and have crossed the line with the score now 9.5 - 12.5 after defeats for Prof Rich and Philchilla and a win for Philchilla.

Avatar of Greengooner

A win for Martyn and a defeat for Xavier on the top board have taken the Yorkshire score to 10-16.

A win for ChrisTT makes it 13-5 against Zilinsky Kraj and a win for Prof Rich takes it to 10.5 - 12.5 in the already lost match against Brittany.

A win for Oliver and a defeat for GG takes the score in the already won match with Toscana to 18-12. Well done, Oliver !

Avatar of Greengooner

A defeat for Oliver means we have lost against Nitriansky Kraj and a defeat for Rupert and a draw for Arnold means we face an uphill struggle against Yorkshire who now lead us 10.5 - 17.5 in the 20 board match.

Avatar of Greengooner

A win for ChrisTT has brought the match with Brittany to en end with a final score of 11.5 - 12.5.

Defeats for QueenOilyFace and Xavier have taken us to the brink of defeat against Yorkshire though QOF also got a win to make the score 11.5 - 19.5 with another point needed for outright victory.

A draw for Oliver makes the score 13.5 - 5.5 in the already won match against Zilinsky Kraj. 

Avatar of Greengooner

Two draws for Katherine have made the score 12.5 - 20.5 against Yorkshire and this takes them over the line and ensures defeat for us.

Avatar of Greengooner

A win for Arnold has made the score 13.5 - 20.5 in our lost match with Yorkshire. Well done, Arnold !

A win for Oliver gives us a winning lead over Zilinsky Kraj. Well done, Oliver.
