Our B tean’s first match of the season was at home to local rivals Hounslow A, who outgraded us on all boards.

Here’s what happened.

	Richmond B		Hounslow A

6	Masoud Molazadeh 126	0:1	Eugene Gregorio 142
7	Rob Hunter –	0:1	JJ Padam 139
		2:5

Welcome to Andrew, playing his first game for us (although I suspect he may have played against us a few times in the past), and congratulations on a fine win against a tough opponent. Well done also to Bertie for a customary solid draw..
