Although Horsham 4 lost their most recent match, they did have more success in their previous fixture, which was away at Uckfield on the Wednesday, 24th October. They defeated the Uckfield second team narrowly 3-2, after their opponents decided to resign the unfinished board 2 game rather than go to adjudication.
The results of the individual games are given in the table below:

Horsham 4 suffered a heavy defeat to Worthing 3 at home last Tuesday, going down by 4.5 to 0.5. There was the odd moment of misfortune (e.g. Laurence Draper's blunder against David Wallis when the exchange up), but generally the team was outclassed by a side containing a trio of junior Grahams.

Just a reminder that next Tuesday is in half term, so there will be no junior chess club. I will be along around 7:15pm to open up for the two MSL matches taking place.

Horsham 3 defeated East Grinstead 1 decisively in the Mid-Sussex League last night.
Team captain Mick Harris reports:
We got off to a flying start last night with a 4 – 1 win over East Grinstead 1. Boards 3, 4 & 5 had convincing wins, Board 1 a solid draw, whilst Board 2 used one of his 'nine lives' with a fortunate half with both sides in time trouble.

Our Mid Sussex season starts off in style on Tuesday with Horsham 1 v Horsham 2 and Horsham 4 v Horsham 5...good luck to all 20 players participating!
I have had a few queries about who is in which team...it is not quite as simple as that as we often find players competing in more than one team - sometimes even three!
Thought you might like to see the stats for how the teams did in the Mid Sussex Chess League 2011-12. It looked like Horsham 1 were going to win the league at one point...next season?
