We were able to field a very strong Horsham 2 team on Thursday - so strong in fact that the captain was not able to play ;)
Chris Lowe 1/2 Dix Roberts 1/2
Mustapha Othman 0 Phil Stimpson 1
Martin Rowe 0 Paul Taylor 1
Callum Brewer 1/2 Amy Hoare 1/2
Paul Selby 1/2 Peter Harbott 1/2
Horsham 2 win 3.5- 1.5
Update : Paul Taylor was successful in his adjudication and this resulted in a nice overall result

Horsham 3 registered its first point of the season with a convincing win over Brighton and Hove 3.
Chris Heath easily held Robin Jones in a Sicilian, before John Marshall, playing the Sicilian as Black (!!?) gained a piece and a first win for Horsham. This was followed by Richard's subtle sacrificial tactics on the Q side duping his opponent to succumb to a Kingside attack and defeat.
First off, thanks to Phil for the top quality pun. Secondly, I can report success for Horsham in the farthest-flung corner of Sussex...

Facing a very strong Crowborough 2nd team with an 88 point advantage our guys faced a tough challenge indeed (I hid a few tables away!).
Last night saw Horsham 6 host a MSL Division 4 match against Worthing 4 and what a hard fought match it proved. At the time of writing the position is …
1. Baldock M ?-? Crompton P
2. Whitmore G ?-? Guinness K
3. Hewitt T ?-? Pople D
4. Hewitt M ½-½ Bradley D
5. Hewitt R 0-1 Haworth K
An excellent result last night against the Args with the added amusement of live pub music in the background :)
1. Dix Roberts drew with P Farr
2. Phil Stimpson drew with J Graham
3. Paul Taylor drawn with P Kington
4. Peter Harbott beat D Collard
5. I Comley beat I M Garson
So the score stands as 3-1 with Paul choosing to claim either a win or a draw in the adjudication!
Update : draw agreed
Horsham 1 defeated Hastings 2 by a comfortable scoreline on Tuesday night, in a match where Black dominated White, scoring 4/5 unbeaten across the two teams...

Another win for the 5th team leaves us sitting pretty at the top of Div 4 going into
The seasons break,
An entertaining night at Haywards Heath with Tony Locke winning comfortably early on!
