Junior player does game for Rugby D (and wins)

This season with four teams it is possible that junior players can be asked to play the odd chess match for the Coventry and Distict Chess League. This happened over half-term when Rhys played for the D team alongside his Mum (a regular D team player, Jim MacDonald (captain), and Joe Oswell (former team captain). With no high expectation, Rhys won, which helped the team to an overall win.

The match is noted below. It was Rhys' longest ever match he says and although he was chewing his pen a time or two Chis thinks he did better than she would have. To prove it she played Gordon immediately afterwards and was thrashed me convincingly! A convincing win by the D team against a strong side.
