Richmond E won two matches and lost four, all by the odd point. Unlucky! Their two wins were 2½:1½ and 3:1, so all matches were closely contested, which is just what we like to see.

Division X is a ‘friendly’ division with no promotion or relegation designed to provide less experienced and lower graded players with competitive games. It would be good if more clubs supported this division next season.
