W/C 18/11/24 – Week 8

Only two fixtures for Anstey this week, and first up was an away trip for the 4th team to visit Braunstone’s 2nd team. In a closely fought contest over 6 boards, there were 6 decisive results (no draws). Winners on the night were Mike and Ken with losses for Noor, Ted, Jakub and Oskar, leading to a 4-2 defeat on the night. Truthfully, the games could have gone either way, with some very close contests. Many thanks to Oskar for filling in at the last minute on the bottom board.

The 2nd team hosted Ashby’s 2nd team on the Thursday, and I won’t steal captain Boris’s thunder as he has written a brilliant match report, as below:
