Having lost 0-5 at Watford in January, a modicum of local pride was at stake. Watford turned up with their secret weapons, a 5 year-old on board 4, and an 8 year-old on board 5. As it turned out, we had a good evening, with 3 wins and 2 draws, to finish off the home campaign on a positive note.
2 away matches to come, then the Town Council chess event in June (watch this space).
