We welcomed the reigning champions for our first Essex league division one match in anyone’s memory. We were hampered by two late withdrawals due to illness, but this did not affect the match result. We were well beaten. Credit to Kevin and Brian for getting us on the scoreboard and to Myles for his first game for the club.

After a difficult start to the season, this was a very positive match for us. Oddly, that came with draws on the four top boards, and wins on the four lower boards. A good result, when you consider that we were lacking our two top boards, and Upminster had a slight grading advantage, mainly on boards 3-5. We were slightly higher-graded only on board 1.
On individual games, it was very pleasing to see Myles get his first win, in a game between two juniors.
He seemed to be in control throughout.

We had difficulties raising a team as some players had understandable covid and health concerns but we were well beaten by the 2017-18 Essex Champions. Martin drew.
Graham could have won, but made a mistake late on in a sharp game.
Simon also came close to drawing. Myles put up a fight too.

A good performance. We actually won on games played against one of the top Essex teams.
Stephen had an excellent win against a very experienced opponent.
