This week has seen us play our 2 remaining fixtures in this competition, emerging with 2 victories to make a final total of 6 wins, 2 draws and no losses ! We have therefore won our group by a clear margin and await to see who our semi-final oponents will be.
On Monday we went to Weald of Kent and won 3.5 - 2.5. George, David L and Neil were victorious, Pete drew while Rob and I lost (embarrasingly so in my case, I could have resigned after 8 moves !).
Today (Saturday) we defeated Hastings 4-2, the winners being Pete, Hugh and Matt G with draws from George and David L and a solitary loss (Rob).
These matches sum up the season quite well in that our 3 winners in each of the matches were different players, emphasising that it's been a real team effort.
Eleven players took part in one or more of the matches, and of these nine scored 50% or better.
Top scorers were Rob and Pete on 5/7, but congratulations are due to all who contributed - Well done !
As a Club let's hope that we can take our good form into the three semi-finals for which we have qualified and aim to have representation at Kent Finals Day on Sunday 13th May...
