Time and tide wait for no man....
A trip to Hove for a crunch match, provided a sensational evening. This was the final match of the season for Brighton 2. With 6.5 points from 7 games, a win would see them become League champions with promotion to Division 1 as the prize.
Horsham 3,unbeaten with 5/5, were warmly welcomed,as familiar faces settled down to battle it out. Brighton significantly out-graded Horsham on every board (see teams below).
Mick tried a sacrificial attack, but excellent defence trapped his queen - and Horsham were 1 down.
A superb result deserves some mighty fine alliteration...
Horsham 2's away fixture vs Eastbourne 1 on 6th March ended in a narrow loss, two seconds being the exact margin of defeat...
Sadly Horsham 1 came off worse in what could be a crucial result in the title race last Monday...

…. travelling at the speed of light and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen?
It is amazing what things crowded into my mind during yesterday evening's 3 hour round trip to Hastings to play our last match in Division 3 this season against their fourth team.
Match points have been hard to come by this season for Horsham 2, but we chalked up our first win of the season against Lewes 1 last Tuesday...
