Newark, Nomads and West Bridgford 2
Analysis
Results by Board- Board 1 39%
Board 2 46% Board 3 36% Board 4 64% Board 5 71%.
There were stronger teams than us in the division.
We played very well in a 3-2 defeat at Grantham 2 when our Average
Grade was 141 to their 161. Our average grading was also 141 against
Grantham X, whose team against us I work out as having an average
grade of 157.(Using my opponent’s ECF grade of 178 not his club
estimated grade of 147.)
It was an o.k. season where we probably played
in line with grading. My thanks to everybody who turned out and stood
by as reserves. I don’t think we defaulted a board.
