I'd like to report that we covered ourselves in glory at last night's Rapidplay Jamboree. Unfortunately we didn't !!!! We started well enough, with Kasian winning his match on board 2 for the 'A' team. However, Ray, Glyn and myself all finished second, leaving us with 1/4 after the first round. The 'B' team went pretty much the same way. Andy Barker of Alsager was guesting for us and got us off to a winning start but, unfortunately, Mike, Robert and Chris weren't able to add to the score. So the 'B' team also finished the first round on 1/4.
The second round was no better for the 'A' team, with Glyn winning and the rest of us disgracing ourselves, to finish joint second from bottom on 2/8, just ahead of Cheddleton 'Z' on 1.5. Stafford also finished on 2/8 but at least they had the excuse of only having 2 players !! It was much better for the 'B' team, with wins for Robert and Chris and a draw from Andy, leaving them on a total of 3.5/8. Maybe we should have called the 'B' team Alsager, with three guest players from Fenton !!
Cheddleton won the Open Section and there was a tie between Cheddleton and Newcastle in the U130 Section.
