Mini-report by Kishan Pattni

Yesterday evening we fielded our strongest team so far, against our toughest rivals – Albany.

Despite being outgraded on a few boards we managed to pull off a fine win! Frank Sabin and Joseph Levene’s games were very impressive, as was Jacob Bigio’s game. Jacob has recently rejoined the club, and played Board 1 for us against a very tough opponent.

This result means we finished our final home match this season with an outstanding home record of 5 wins out of 5!
