Our team managed a 3-2 win against Chester’s junior team in division 1 of the Wirral League. Wins for Ola Titiloye and Chris Rhodes on boards 4 & 5 allowed draws to be taken by Neville Layhe and David Hulme on boards 3 & 1 respectively. The team remain bottom of the first division and favourites to return to division 2, but at least have an outside chance of survival.

Last night the C team were victorious at Meir B winning the 4th division match by score of 3-1. There were wins for Doug Barnett on board 1 and James Marshall on board 4, with draws from skipper Dave Price and Steve Ballantyne. This result takes the C team to 2nd in the table trailing leaders Cheddleton E by 2 pts with 2 games in hand, but there will be stiff opposition to join in the title race from all teams down to 6th place where Cheddleton F have games in hand, with Fenton B, Stafford B and Newcastle E sandwiched in between.
