Well we had a cup match against Grendel this week. I wasn't there because I don't do Mondays. As a result, we lost. Yes it was obviously as a direct consequence.
Tonight (Tuesday) it was pretty quiet. Graham and I showed up as we thought a new player might make an appearance. As it happened he didn't and we had a couple of games while we watched the football. As you were no doubt wondering, Liverpool showed why you don't need to worry about which defenders you pick when you spend £25M on a striker.
The 'B' team have a home match next week so I may stroll along and see what's happening. The 'B' team are like the 'A' team except if you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, they pay you to come along.

So.
A new season and some more posts
The A team had our second match tonight. In the first match we played another club who's name I have forgotten and we won 4-2. I say I've forgotten the name but obviously I remember the names of all the clubs, I just cant remember which one it was. This is partly because I've misplaced my fixture book already but mainly because I cant be bothered to looking it up on the http://www.chessit.co.uk/ website. Anyway, for reasons known best to them, they turned up with 4 people. I got a draw.
In tonight's match we played Clifton C. After a few years in the league you get to recognise everyone but to this day I still have no idea which teams most people play for. Including some of the Yate players.
Before we started the match, the Clifton captain had an extra player show up and had to adjust the team. He said he was new at the captain thing and did I mind. I think I can speak for the whole team in saying that we're just happy to have someone sitting opposite and if we beat them, well then it gives us a sense of enormous well-being and then we're happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of our hearts devoted to it.
Sorry, I came over all Blur there.
My opponent asked me if I'd played in the league before. I was shocked. Surely my stunning good looks had been noticed before.
Anyway, Andy H got a draw on board 1, Smiling Boy Woodruff got a draw on board 2, I won on 3, Avi lost on 4 and Graham and Richard lost on 5 and 6 respectively. I cant help thinking Avi may have done better if he'd turned up. I can't help thinking Avi would have turned up if I'd called to remind him. Oops.
I should mention that my game was a bit of a war of attrition. In the end I went a bishop up though a flawed sacrifice. Hint: Its only a sacrifice if you get something for it. In the end, I won because I blew it marginally less than my opponent did as he failed to spot his mate in 2. I did and possibly everyone else did. I may have been a little theatrical at this point...
Time to spread the account and password details about. Maybe someone else will post.
