Geat start for juniors in the Coventry League !

Last Tuesday saw a tremendous start for our junior team in the Coventry league cup for division 3.

After a practice on Monday night of how to play with competition rules, clocks and score sheets our newcomers gained a 2-2 draw against an experienced Coventry G team.

On top board Rhys Davies played well to secure a win against Daniels Rowlands - Rhys was the one of our team who had ever played in the Coventry league!
On 2nd board Nicola Carouche won against Trevor Beesley with a very convincing attack.
On board 3 Jonathan Payne had a clear win against Trevor Gazee but threw it away at the end (better luck next time Jonathan), while on board 4 Leo Johnson had long though unsuccessful game against Tomas White. (Leo had had to come back from an all-day school outing to play in the match).
We hope to get some more games in the season so that more of our juniors can play some league chess - particularly with results like this !
