Southampton Chess League

Hamble A made it five draws from seven league matches when their encounter with University A finished all square with University A winning on the top two boards and Hamble winning the bottom two boards and the game on board 3 being drawn. In division 4 Salisbury C’s 3.5-0.5 win against University C means they need to win one of their remaining three matches to clinch the title, while Fareham B’s win against Winchester D was their first of the season.

In both the Robertson Cup match between Southampton A and Andover A and the Robertson Plate match between Chandlers Ford A and Winchester A the teams finished all square, but whereas Southampton A progress on board count the Plate match will have to be replayed as a result of all four boards being drawn with the winners qualifying to play a final against Hamble A who comfortably beat Chandlers Ford B despite an excellent draw from Don Creasey on board 4. Ringwood A progressed in the cup with a win by default against Salisbury A.
