In our first match of 2019, Richmond C welcomed Surbiton C to the Twickenham Club. In spite of some solid performances by our top boards, our higher rated opponents emerged triumphant thanks to wins on the lower boards. Congratulations to Omar, Dan and Laurie, who all held much higher graded opponents to a draw.
