Tuesday was the second of the three Horsham vs Horsham matches to start this season. Last match the 3s suffered playing up against the 2s and this time played down against the 4s. Although we outrated our opponents on every board, it's still never a guaranteed result.
First to finish was my own board 1, a repeat fixture from the previous week against John M but with colours reversed. We played a very quiet Spanish where suddenly it wasn't and black resigned under threat of mate.

Horsham 5 started the season at home against East Grinstead 3 on Tuesday in Division 3. On paper we are one of the lower rated teams in the league so it promises to be a tough season.
East Grinstead 3 are amongst the favourites this year and despite being heavily outgraded on every board, we came away with a creditable 2-2 draw.

Horsham 2 faced Horsham 3 this week, the first in a series of such matches, since Horsham is fielding three teams in the second division this year. Of course, Horsham 2 would like to achieve promotion at the end of the season, so it was important for us to start off on the right foot.
The adult club returns for the new season on 2nd September at 7:30pm for our AGM, with the junior club meeting from 9th September onward...
