(and bring a friend). Week 5 Monday...The D Team travelled to SASCA C and mercilessly beat up poor defenceless children 5½-½. The ½ was a grown up. I hope they are proud of themselves. Wednesday at The Harlequin...Clay Cross, mystified by the ghost venue, arrived late and never really got into the match. 5-1 to the C Team. Kieran was away for the evening, as his brother refused to emigrate on a different day so Jeremy was captain for the day - the A Team staggered over the line 4½-3½ against Worksop A. Cup Week
Monday...The I Team travelled to SASCA II and mercilessly beat up poor defenceless children 6-0. I hope they are proud of themselves. Week 4 Monday...The A Team travelled to Chesterfield A. After being slightly in front most of the race, going into the final lap Jeremy dramatically jettisoned a substantial amount of wood and looked completely lost, but with fewer pieces to think about, he was suddenly lighter and more agile, now the pieces (that were left) were more responsive...Jeremy closed in on his opponent and pulled level on the final bend for 4½-3½ win. Wednesday at The Harlequin...The B Team went 1-0 up thanks to Phil F but, as the rest of the team were collectively rooks, bishops, and pawns down with poor positions, the consensus was it might well be the only point they got, so a 4-2 win was a bit of a surprise. On the other side of the room the D Team experiment proves to be an ongoing success - there were wins for Eric and Gordon as they beat Ecclesall D 3½-2½. Thursday at The Bridge Inn...A test for the C Team, minus Mohammad, Mursal, and Masrura, against Phoenix B. Wins for Simon and notably Ian, on Board 1, but the rest of us were up against solid second division chess and were picked off for a 2-4 defeat. Week 3
Monday at the New Barrack Tavern...A Nomads team defeat this season's nemesis Stannington as our D Team beat their B Team 4-2. There were wins for new recruit Andrew, Phil P, Eric, and, up, down, winning, losing, then winning again, and now 3/3 for the season, Ian C. Wednesday at The Harlequin...Equanimity, Equilibrium, Equality. Balance. The A Team float calmly, gently through the season drawing each match, this time with Barnsley A, 4-4. Week 2
Wednesday (not) at The Harlequin...The, previously rearranged, (or was it?), home or away, C Team, (or was it B Team?), fixture against Ecclesall B was postponed in circumstances that would be material for a short novel. In a less chaotic parallel universe the B Team picked up their first points of the season in a 4-2 win against an under strength SASCA A. Friday?! the A Team travelled to Rotherham Juniors and drew 4-4. Cup Week Wednesday at The Harlequin...The I Team beat Woodseats II 6-0, and in an action replay of last Monday's match the II Team lost 2½-3½ (again) to Stannington. Good Game Good Game If you haven't found them already Jon has submitted a couple of recent games well worth a look And from a couple of weeks ago Kev's win against Stuart - as Ian B said, a surprisingly conventional win in which Kev was at no point a piece down. Week 1
Monday at The New Barrack Tavern...The high flying C Team were brought down to Earth by Stannington A who beat us 3½-2½. Ian B is entirely at fault. Away at The Abbey the new fangled D Team put on a great performance against Woodseats B but also lost 3½-2½. Wins for Ian C, storming to 2/2 for the season, Gordon, and a draw by Eric, outgraded by 36 points, against Bill Ward. Wednesday at The Harlequin...The A Team got off to a better start than last season: This season they managed to find the (home) venue, and when they got there they scored a point. The match against University A ended in a 4-4 draw with eight decisive games. Jon's win here and Masrura's win here. Week 0 Wednesday at The Harlequin...The C Team made full use of home advantage and took the honours in the local derby 3½-2½. A report from a C Team perspective here. Thursday at The University Arms...wait a minute, no Thursday, somewhere in The Octagon... The newly formed D Team kicked off with a 3-3 draw. Wins for fresh faced debutants Phil S and Ian C (here), and grizzled veteran Paul B (here). Phoenix Friendly
Next Season's Teams III Azmiddin has decided to play for University - something to do with parking his bike, plus he is actually at the University. Ray is back at D&H.
After a further bout of head scratching this is our third attempt at sorting out teams for next season, (c) denotes captains, bold denotes car drivers, asterisks are registered players*.
A Team
Kieran(c)*, Jon*, Chris*, Jeremy*, Mohammad, Uday, Haidar, Andy, Enyi, Stuart, Masrura, Mursal, Ken, Ian, Paul C
B Team
Andy(c)*, Ken*, Stuart*, Phil F, Haidar, Uday, Graham, Enyi, Bill P, Robert, Gordon, Simon J,
C Team
Mohammad*, Masrura*, Mursal*, Ian B, Paul B(c), Simon N, Kev, Phil S, Eric, Les, Ian C, Phil P
D Team
Robert(c), Phil S, Gordon, Eric, Les, Simon J, Bill P, Ian C, Simon N, Norman, Phil P, Andrew Registered Players - Can't play for a team below the team they are registered for, eg Kieran can only play for the A Team, Andy can play for the A and B Team, and you'd've thought Ian B could play for A,B, or C Teams but... B and C Teams in Div 2 - No player can play a game for both the B and C Teams, so these two teams need to be totally separate. Playground Football - Wednesday 17th September
Phoenix Friendly - Thursday 25th September Annual Phoenix Friendly this year at Phoenix's venue, The Bridge Inn
