Both Carl and J-P had a chance to deny Ant a solo victory in the Club Championship, but on the 22nd of January, both fell at the first hurdle, with Carl unable to best underdog Tom in a crazy back and forth game, and J-P falling to Geoff. With no more games left to play for Ant, the results mean that the Club Champship victory is now confirmed! Joachim settled the remainder of the fixtures with a win and a loss, putting a close to this season's Club Championship.
In the Pomeroy Cup, Denzil played Marcus to decide the overall winner. Marcus was able to convert with the black pieces, meaning he finishes the competition unbeaten, and will take the Cup victory!
The Secretary's Quickplay has now started, with 10 entries across two groups. It is a 20 minute time control with 10 seconds increment, and entrants play each other twice each with the black and white pieces. Registration remains open - if any club member would like to enter, please email Geoff with your intent.
