PS Yes Mark & Bob, that does mean I'll be available for season 09-10 :)

The U100 team (max grade 124; avg below 100) beat Thurrock on board count. Particularly well played by Peter Burgoyne who held his nerve in a tense technical endgame to win and secure the team victory on board count. We are through to the next round.

The Hackney Minor team lost two recent matches to Beckenham & Charlton; first, 3-1 and, secondly, 2.5-1.5. The highlights were, however, first wins for the club for Paul Murphy and Maria Gonzalez Tracey.
