Chess with steel balls in Greenhead Park
Today we went to Heckmondwike but it didn’t go well. They all played very well and we all played pretty badly. The result was a 5-0 win for Heckmondwike. No excuses – the better team on the day won the fixture.
Next week we have a bye and the following week we’re back in action at home on Tuesday 8th May at 1pm against Mirfield. Other result of the opening week was Leeds beating Mirfield 3-2.
Only 6 teams today (where were you Huddersfield?) including two visitors from the other side of the hills. Joe and Paul are members of Trafford and hadn’t been playing long but put up a good performance ending up as winners.
None of the teams managed to win all their games so it was between the 4 teams who had won 2 games and points difference was going to decide it. It was very close but Joe & Paul had one more in the points difference column than Sandie & Marie and 4 more than Sue & Roy.
Well played Joe & Paul – hope to see you again. We’d love to come over and enter one of your events one day.
It may not sound much but on Tuesday last week we shifted the shed 2m to the left. Reason being that we’re expecting to add another wooden building (see clubhouse page) later in the year and to the left of the shed was fairly level. But the area to the right was not. Leaving the shed where it was would mean more excavating and expense. By giving us 2m more space at the right hand side of the shed we’re saving time and money when we come to the next stage of the works.
On the way we had to empty the shed and fill it up again after we had shifted it (and threw way a lot of rubbish on the way)
