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...

Horsham 3 had a 4.5 -- 0.5 win against Lewes 2 last Tuesday. Admittedly we had a grading advantage on all boards, but the team played well and secured our 5th win of the season.
We have a tough run-in of games to come, but we have secured our position in Division 2.

Now that Horsham 5’s 2014/15 season has finished I thought it would be useful to provide a (light-hearted!?) end of term report in advance of Ian’s wider presentation to the AGM in September.

PLAYERS:
We used 10 players who played a total of 34 games (excluding 1 default). Of these we won 13, lost 11 (including 1 default) and drew 11 – giving us a win percentage of 37.14%.

…. 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...
Report from Dix Roberts (captain):
Horsham lost 4.5 1.5 against a strong Hastings team in this year's McArthur Cup match.

Harbott 0.5:0.5 Cafferty
Stimpson 0:1 Tebbs
Taylor 0:1 Willson
Pavlovic 0:1 Elliston
Comley 1:0 Sugden

On Tuesday the Horsham 4th team travelled away to East Grinstead and with our full team arriving early we could start straight away and the two remaining EG players arrived just as we started, unfortunately this lead to a mix up on boards 3 & 4 where there players took the wrong seats and as only noticed 10 minutes into the games, we had to carry on.
