Horsham Juniors have been in action in three successive weeks recently, here's how they got on...
First up was a home match against the strong Lewes team. Maya and Campbell succumbed to strong kingside attacks against their kings, whilst Darcey was doing fine against her opponent but let him in later. On board 4 Nayan scored his maiden win for the team, so overall it was 3-1 to Lewes.
M. McMahon 0-1 S. Mitchell
D. Walker-Lee 0-1 J. Wynn
C. Robertson 0-1 J. McCrae
N. Keats Rastogi 1-0 A. McCrae
Then we had an away match vs Brighton which I couldn't attend. A shortage of players led Guy and Joe to step in as adult players and the team acquitted itself excellently, with our first 4-0 whitewash since the team has started. Guy reports that both Crosbys won endgame battles.
K. Blades 0-1 B. Crosby
T. Irani 0-1 G. Turvey
L. Dormon 0-1 P. Crosby
T. Baker 0-1 J. Rogers
Finally last night we welcomed Uckfield to London Road after some traffic delays had held them up. A close match ensued with pretty much all 8 players having chances at various points, and the spoils ended up being shared 2-2. Thanks to Andrew for stepping in on board 1.
A. Burling 1-0 B. Weis
D. Walker-Lee 0-1 O. Christian
N. Keats Rastogi 0-1 L. Munn
C. Robertson 1-0 J. Hanson
So a loss, a win and a draw all told. One more match remains when we welcome Collyers to our venue in March.
