Macclesfield's dismal start to the season continued last night when they were beaten by Crewe B despite a quick point from skipper Phil Simon Layhe has started the season brilliantly for Crewe and equalised the scores. Despite an edge throughout the endgame Geoff carelessly allowed the ending to come down to opposite coloured bishops and the extra pawn was no good. With the scores level everything came down to Joachim - his opponent played the latter stages very well indeed......
John-Paul continued his fine start to this year's championship with a win over Geoff. The game featured an unsound sacrifice, but the complications were too much for the ageing secretary who spent far too much time thinking! Joachim dropped his first point of the season when held to a draw by Tony and Carl continued to challenge with a fine win over Phil.
Jake defeated Tony in the only Pomeroy Cup Game to be played
