E-mail Print PDF

It is probably newsworthy to include the result of this match played away at Ilford on Sunday 24th January 2010.  

Ilford fielded a useful team, led by a 193 graded player on board 1. Unfortunately, we lost 3.5-1.5; the match was closer than the score suggests with a couple of key games just running away from us towards the end of the session.

Board details are give below: note that in the National Club Major the average grade of any team must be under 160.

Ilford won the toss and had white on the odd boards.
