FEBRUARY 25: Our teams enjoyed a double success against Cosham in the past week - in division two and three. The div three side were victorius last week, being handed a 6-0 whitewash after the home side failed to field a side. Then, seven days on, the div 2 side ran out 4.5-1.5 winners, leaving them in charge at the top of the table.

McDougall - Difficult opening for Bill but he turned the position around and had winning chances in the endgame but Dave defended well for the draw; R. Puchades 0.5-0.5 J. Wilson - Jaimie played white and had an IQP and had a slight initiative through the game but it was drawn; A. Smith 1-0 I. Judd - Ian relinquished the initiative in the middlegame and missed a saving chance towards the end.
JANUARY 25: Team captain Keith Davies reports on the Chichester/Bognor team's 3-2 success in the Cole Cup plate against Emsworth:
Board 1 After being about equal up to move 20, Keith Davies drifted in the middle game into a very passive position as black against Mike Lambshire who has a 199 grade. As expected, Mike took full advantage and won easily.
Board 2 Bill Partridge, playing white against Martin Buckley, had winning chances and later had drawing chances but unfortunately lost, suffering in severe time trouble.
Board 3 Mick Plumb, playing black against R Treloar, having achieved a winning position, finished the game off with a neat unstoppable mate.
They defaulted Board 4, which meant someone did not get a game in the match. Thank you, Ray for volunteering to be that person.
Board 5 John Kalber, with black, dominated his game and made short work of Vincent Agius, who can be a tricky player.
So on to the final, to take on the winner of Fareham B v Portsmouth or Gosport. Can we successfully defend our title of Cole Cup Plate champions?
My thanks to those who played - Keith Davies
