Stourbridge Chess Club

With the season coming to an end, the club had two matches this week. Both were on Wednesday and both in the Worcester and District League.

The division 1 team hosted Malvern. Wins for Richard Wilkinson and Hossam Aboushady along with a draw for Julie Wilson gave Stourbridge 2½ - 1½ win. This win has handed Redditch the title. Stourbridge are currently fourth in the division of five teams, with one match remaining against the champions Redditch.

The division 2 team travelled to Kidderminster. A draw for Jeremy Humphreys and wins for Colin Woodall and Joe Bombardini gave Stourbridge another 2½ - 1½ win. There are still a few matches to be played in this division. Stourbridge might have one more match to play, depending on what happens with the match claimed by default when their opponents did not turn up.
