A few absences, but we have 33 players registered for the Summer Cup. I am still accepting entries if you're interested.
Not everyone expected turned up - one player ran out of petrol on the way to the club, and another got the start date wrong. If you find at the last minute you can't make it in time, please text me on 021-136-8645.
Nice to see Blaise Drinkwater back at the club after a long absence. He put up a very creditable fight against Michael Nyberg.
Plenty of upsets! Apart from yours truly succumbing to Lawrence Farrington, the sensation of the year (so far!) was young Joshua Wight (rating 1253) beating Alan Aldridge (rating 1964) when the latter ran out of time in a difficult position. Well done Joshua! And well done too to Patrick Cunningham who held Arthur Pomeroy to a draw on board 2.
