Crucial final round will decide championship
Thursday 25 June, 2009
Fighting draws at the top saw Adam Raoof retain his lead in Round 6 of the club championship yesterday evening. Michael Bennett (pictured, from 1977-78 when he first joined the club) is still in 2nd place, with Tomer Eden, Jonathan Landau, David Iwi, Chris Rogal and Chris Jones only half a point behind and very much in contention. All is set for an exciting final round in 2 weeks time.
