Rooks team in the 2024-5 Challengers League

19 Sep 2024. In the first Rooks match of the season, Worcester’s hopes were high when they found Redditch had to default board 4. Although Worcester was out-rated on board 1, the other two games were between players with similar ratings. These games were balanced well into the middle games, but Redditch players prevailed on both.
1 Sep 2024. Stourbridge decided to play in the District league rather than the Challengers. First match result awaited

Pawns Rapidplay under-1650 league 2024-5

26 Sep 2024. The Pawns selected recent new players for their first home match against Kidderminster in the new league. Kidderminster turned out an experienced team led by Cameron who was delighted in a sweeping victory in his first match as captain. Although Alex eventually lost, he did well by holding off experienced John Varilone for an extended game in the final result of the evening.
