Suffolk Chess

Jim Buis (Manningtree) reports:

Following Manningtree’s disastrous result against Sudbury last night (they lost 1½ - 6½) the last match of the season now becomes the decider.   This match takes place next Tuesday when Ipswich B play Sudbury.

This is akin to an old fashioned final as the winner takes the cup.   Basically, Ipswich B need to draw or better, otherwise Sudbury will win!   (Always assuming the vagaries of the rapid play grading rules have no retrospective impact on recent results!)

Here's the current league table:

Team	Played	Won	Drawn	Lost	Points
Ipswich A	4	2	0	2	17½
Manningtree	4	1	1	2	15
Ipswich B	3	3	0	0	14
Sudbury	3	2	0	1	13½
Clacton	4	0	1	3	12

With eight points at stake, either Ipswich B or Sudbury must overtake the current leaders.
