On Monday 22nd September the Crowthorne ‘B’ team were fully represented in an 7.5 table Howell movement. Simon and Les got the upper hand in the two boards against Chris and Dave, but will they do the same in the overall results – time will tell?

Chris and Dave helped their team-mates considerably allowing them a generous 16 points for the two boards where the pairs were in opposition - well someone's got to do it haven't they?!
