West Bridgford 1 v Ashfield 2 21/11/2016 Our second team suffered a decisive defeat at bottom club, West Bridgford. The hosts have strengthened their team recently and their victory was not unexpected. They fielded the 3 'R's on the top 3 boards, Robert Richmond, Richard Truman and Robert Taylor, a recruit from Syston. These 3 proved too strong for Glenn, Jerry and myself. As losers we were at least in good company on a night when Magnus Carlsen lost Game 8 of his World Championship defence. Alan Robinson and Nigel Wright, consistent performersthis season, earned draws to get us on the score-sheet. Result W. Bridgford 1 v Ash 2 4-1 West Bridgford remain for now at the foot of the table but have closed the gap with the teams above them. Our 2 teams in Division 1 are both perilously close to the relegation mire. |
