“On the third day of Christmas, HammerChess gave to me…”
… London League 6 (Hedger), by Mike Mackenzie
With more than five seasons past piloting London League Division 6, I have seen many improvement in its organization, and none more so than this year.
With our growing membership we have once again entered two teams in London 6, and I have 12 nominated players available for selection!
Our first match was against our home-club rivals from League 6, Hammersmith MI, which ended in a draw with a win a piece and two boards sharing the spoils. Compare this to last seasons result, where the Hedger team scraped a 2.5-1.5 win – the standard in the League is clearly rising!
Our second match was also a draw against the Wanstead 2 side, with two wins a piece. This saw us make our debut in the plush surroundings of the London League’s new venue – the Citadines Hotel in Holborn.
Our third and final game so far saw us take a bruising defeat at Morley College, going down 1-3 – the less said about that, the better!
To date we have utilized 6 of our nominated players, with a further 6 waiting in the wings – strength in depth for the run-in next year!
An exciting second half to the season is ahead, with us kicking things off on Jan 16th against DHSS.
Merry Christmas to you all!
Mike.
Cheers Mike. I’ll watch with interest as to which Division 6 team comes out on top!
