Apologies for the delay in posting last week's results.
Ashby 2 beat Braunstone 1 by 3.5 - 1.5 in Division 2. We didn't actually lose a single game, with excellent wins on boards 1 and 2 for Paul and Tom G and draws on the other boards from Chris, Larry and Steve. Unfortunately, this did not improve our league position as we are still bottom and 2 points adrift of Market Harborough 2, who also still have a game in hand of us and a superior game points difference. With just one match left to play - away against Melton Mowbray - we haven't officially fallen through the trap door yet but it is wide open !!
Ashby 4 were beaten 2.5 - 1.5 by league leaders Wigston 5 in Division 4. Les was back to form with a good win on board 1 and Ric drew on board 3, but it wasn't sufficient to get us anything out of the match. We remain in 6th place with one match left to play against bottom of the table Wigston 6.
Elsewhere, Richard Vann beat James Foster in the 1st round of the Club Championship and Graham Bird beat Jan Oldham in the 3rd round of the U1450 Championship.
