First Win For Ashby 2 in Harrod Cup
Ashby 2 beat Anstey by 5-3 last night to gain their first win in this year's Harrod Cup. The match looked to be heading for a draw right up until the end, until Paul Gibson's opponent blundered away a winning position. Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Paul pounced for an unexpected win to give us all of the points. Special mention to Tom Gerrard as well, who won both of his games against Ashby old boy Mike Griffiths.

U1450 Championship
Paul Mayer and Ric Dawson drew their 4th round match in the U1450 Championship earlier this evening. The draw for the 5th round has now been made and can be viewed here.
Due to Brian Wood's recent illness I have had to withdraw him from the competition, at least temporarily, although his results to date still stand. Should he recover sufficiently in the future I will re-instate him. He was due to play Dan Vernon in the 4th round so I have had to give Dan a full point bye.
