Victory at Kent Finals Day
Mike Spencer points out that we actually won the Intro cup in the Kent finals this year, beating Lewisham on the day..
Well done, guys.
Out of curiosity I checked the details here, and it seems we won the En Passant Cup as well!
Congratulations to Malcolm and the team.
Update (Sunday): As a tie-breaker, board-count to Beckenham chess club is like penalties to the England footy team. They happen too often and we always lose (so it seems). Malcolm has just pointed out to me:
The EP report is in fact a mistake. We lost the final on board count [and we were black on odds]. Strange though that this error should have happened. I reported it but heard nothing in response

Clean Sweep in Croydon League 2010, from Howard Walden
Our teams have won both of the divisions we entered for this season.
- Division 1 was won by West Wickham
- Division 3 was won by West Wickham A, with a massive 9½ out of a possible 10 match points with West Wickham B as worthy runners-up.
That means that West Wickham have won Division 1 two years running!
In Division 3, West Wickham teams have dominated the division for the last four years with three championships and a runners-up!!!!
Well done to all those who have taken part. Perhaps we should have a team in Divsion 2 next year?
