Macclesfield on top in second divisions as season comes to a close

Macclesfield finished an emotionally difficult season with wins in both the Stockport District Chess League Division Two, and the North Staffordshire District Chess Association Division Two, thanks in no part to a well rounded team with good strength across the boards. The Macclesfield B team had a respectable finish in division two with three victories, and a 6th place overall. Thanks to all players who contributed to the season, and well done to Chris Riley for sharing the lead for the Vic Knox trophy.

Congratulations are in order also for new members Chris Riley and Jason Rice for their wins in the Club Championship and Pomeroy Cup respectively. Chris finished both the Club Championship and the late Secretary's Quickplay tournament with no draws or losses, a very respectable result.

The club will now close for the summer and open again on the first Monday of September for an AGM and an evening of casual chess. See you there!
