The regular season for our U125 team finished with a fixture against Warwickshire.
Thank you and well done to all the players who competed for Staffordshire this weekend and over the regular season.
For the second U125 fixture in a row, 15 minutes after everyone else had started, I found myself facing an interesting challenge when one of the team was unable to turn up.
As I was playing, I didn't really get the opportunity to see how the other games went.
Petrov's defence has a reputation for being quiet and drawish.
Matthew Carr told me his game was certainly not that, and that he won a very interesting game.
Well done to Max Wooton and Thomas Healey for their wins.
Ray Dolan told me he finished with a good draw, and from what I saw of John Day's game it looked tense.
As for my game, on move 23 I was forced to exchange a rook for his bishop, effectively leaving me a pawn down in material.
I was still just a pawn down on move 42, but blundered a bishop on the next move.
Most of the players told me they had good games.
Well played everyone!
Last season Alan Thomason was captain of the U125 team, but he has now taken over the vacant position of U150 captain.
In his place, John Day will be looking after this team.
For the home matches, John will try to arrange a venue that suits as many Staffordshire players as possible.
Matches are played on Saturday afternoons, with no adjournments.
If you are interested in playing, John would like to hear from you.
