Normality returned to the club championship on Monday when the higher graded player won all 3 games.
Joachim overcame Carl who was aiming for top spot on his own. Denzil, following a good start, looked rather rusty after a considerable lay-off from the longer form of the game. Tony capitalised. John put up a spirited fight in his first game in the main club championship, but eventually lost to Geoff.
In the sole Pomeroy game of the week, Ant was beaten by Dan who was making his debut in club competition. Mike Edwards has been added to the list of competitors.

Macclesfield welcomed Cheddleton in their first league game since March 2020. John, making his debut, fought hard against young star Sam Perry but succumbed at the end of a long battle. On board 3 Joachim won well against Bill Armstrong and skipper Phil was held to a draw by Roger Edwards. At 10:15 Geoff was a piece up and seemingly coasting to a win against Simon Edwards when his concentration lapsed and he blundered away a piece into a lost ending. He's obviously getting too old....

The 26th of September saw the opening moves of this year's club championship. Reigning champion, Tony was gunned down by 1st team captain John-Paul and top-rated player, John, was defeated by Carl. In week 2 Carl and John-Paul played out a draw and thus have an early 1.5 point lead.
Meanwhile Ant, stepping down from his solid performance last year in the club championship, overcame Brian in the Pomeroy. He added to this by defeating Ed in week 2. Paul also defeated Ed to get under way in this his first year of competition.
