Tuesday 28th December 2017
Result: 1.5 : 2.5
We had an excellent match against New Milton, who on the day proved victorious. John Oldfield justified his selection playing first board for the team with a good win. Tony went down to a strong opponent, but is going to prove a worthy Board 1 for the team. I expect he will not be out played this season. We are still able to compete in this league, despite losing here. Our derby match against our B Team on the 12 December will be very exciting.
