Ashby 2 had a great result in the Harrod Cup last week, beating top of the table Syston by 5-3 and leapfrogging them into first place. 2 wins each for both Paul G. and Neil, and 1 win for Chris, gave us the points. A win in our last game will guarantee us a first place finish, whilst a draw would probably do it as well. Syston could, in theory, catch us on points but the head to head result between us would give it to Ashby.
Ashby 1 play Market Harborough 1 in their 4th round match on the 25th August, where a win could push us towards the top half of the table.
In the Club Championship, Tom Dove and Tom Gerrard drew their 4th round match, leaving Richard Vann the front runner by half a point, although he could be caught, depending on the result of the last outstanding 4th round game between Andrew Wilson and Roy Evans.
