As we approach the last few weeks of the season we have three results to report from last Tuesday: two wins and a draw.

In our penultimate TVA match of the season we won comfortably enough against Surbiton B.

1. Gavin Wall (2281) 1:0 Paul Dupré (1993)
2. Mike Healey (2205) 1:0 Nick Faulks (1958)
3. Chris Baker (1950) 0:1 Graham Alcock (1767)

5. Raghu Kamath (1833) ½:½ John Polanyk (1736)
6. Jon Eckert (1854) 1:0 Conrad Bredenoord (-)

Well played everyone! Our final match, at home to Hammersmith on 9 May, will probably decide 2nd place in the league: let’s try to get our strongest possible team out for this one!

Meanwhile, at the Twickenham Club, our TVD team shared the points with Harrow, helped by our visitors being a player short.

1. Dan Donohoe (1489) 0:1 Clive Heidrich (1733)
2. George Dokic (1376) ½:½ David Stott (1447)
3. Laurie Catling (1359) ½:½ Peter Merrifield (1101)
4. Seb Johnson (-) 0:1 Jennifer Goldsmith (1438)
5. Jon Slinn (-) 1:0 Phil Humphry (1396)
6. Ken Broadley (1038) 1:0 Default

Congratulations to Jon on scoring the critical point in his second appearance for us.

Back at the Adelaide, our final Surrey fixture of the season saw us facing divisional champions Ashtead in the Fred Manning Trophy.

1. Steve Payne (1569) 0:1 Daniel Richmond (-)
