Suffolk Chess

The Suffolk Under 160 team played their final rounds of matches today at the Turner Hall in Newmarket.   In the morning, Suffolk went down 6½ - 9½ to Norfolk, but in the afternoon convincingly beat league leaders Cambridgeshire 11 - 5.

Simon Riley (Adastral) was the only Suffolk player to win both games.   Those on 1½ points included Phil Hutchings, Leon Burnett, John McAllister (all Manningtree); Jon Collins and Laureano Garcia (Bury St Edmunds).

The final league table will be published here when the remaining results are posted (Herts v Norfolk and Cambs).

Suffolk finished in last place, having only won one match and drawn one.

The 8-board Under 100 team (captain Dave Robertson) played two matches against Cambridgeshire, winning the first 6 - 2 but losing the second 3 - 5.
