The winner of Horsham 2 v Eastbourne 1 was always going to decide the winner of the second division and promotion to division 1 .Phil played a great game to beat Rasa and Ian played accurately to convert a slightly better position. We have 2.5 points with just Peter's game outstanding and are expecting to be claiming a win.
So barring an embaraassing disaster in the final game against lowly opposition we look well set to collect some silverware.
Horsham 2 managed an impressive 4.5 - 0.5 victory against Worthing 3 last night. We completely outgraded the opposition and took good advantage with some great results.
On board 3 (Comley - Wallis) Black is threatening to mate White so I underpromoted to a knight with check! After the game Chris Heath recommended Rh5 which was much better...but the computer spotted another tactic...see if you can spot it - clue: turns out I underpromoted the wrong pawn!

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

3. Paul Taylor drawn with P Kington
4. Peter Harbott beat D Collard

Horsham 2 were pleased with the final result which starts a season which will hopefully result in Horsham 2 promotion. Horsham 3 are a force to be reckoned with...

Horsham 2 are poised for a win following our final match of the season against Hastings & SL 2. A tight match went down to the wire with the last few minutes proving crucial...

A relatively short journey for an away match at last! Horsham 2 put up a good fight but the score currently stands at 3-1 against us with one game to resolve.
