Snodland 4 vs Medway 1: 2-4


Although Snodland lost this match, there was an excellent result on the top board from David Fowler who drew with Andrew Mayhew, who is graded 53 points higher. Statistically speaking, in a 100 game match, David would be expected to lose every game, so a draw is an excellent result. In footballing terms, it's like a League 2 club beating a Premiership side.
Although David Lettington managed a draw on baord 2 and Tyrone Jefferies scored a neat win on board 5, the rest of the team were not able to convert their grading advantages into wins.
Despite two losses, the teams remain in high spirits and we look forward to a win this coming Thursday!
