With a few fewer strong players in the club this year it was always going to be difficult for Macclesfield in both leagues. Despite a good showing in the first round of the Charnley Cup, Macclesfield have yet to score a victory in either of the leagues. On the 6th of November, Macclesfield managed half a point against a wily Fenton side.

J. Trier (1816) | 0 - 1 | A. Richardson (2019) |
P. Cattermole (1807) | 0 - 1 | S. Hill (1821) |
A. Brough (1753) | 0.5 - 0.5 | S. Emmerton (1564) |
In the Stockport Division 2 on the 13th of November, Macclesfield B team had a much stronger showing than in round 1, but sadly weren't able to get over the line.

The Club Championship and Pomeroy Cup has picked up pace. Carl started his campaign with a win against Ant, whilst Ant has taken a win from Geoff. Tom has put his first points up on the board with a draw against Joachim.
With wins against Brian, Dan and Jenny, Marcus has made his way to the top of the leaderboard in the Pomeroy Cup. Denzil is also yet to lose, so will Marcus be able to maintain the lead?
