County First Team in action

Suffolk’s first team was in action yesterday in the EACU County Championship, where they faced Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire.

Against all expectations, Suffolk lost 6½ – 9½ to Cambridgeshire, but beat Bedfordshire by the convincing margin of 10½ – 5½.

The league table can be seen here and the full results for Suffolk are here.

In brief, only Martin Fogg was able to record two victories.   Those on 1½ points included Graham Moore, Steve Ruthen, Nick Savage and Leon Burnett.

The next round of matches takes place on 2 February, when Suffolk face Bedfordshire and Norfolk.

    It shouldn't have been that surprising that Suffolk lost to Cam's, we were missing many players due to playing on Saturday rather than the usual Sunday. Cams under the leadership of a new team captain had found new players and the result was the teams were very evenly matched (Cams avg rating 180 against Suffolk's 179). The only surprise was the margin of victory which was due to a couple of turns in games at the end of the playing session. Suffolk were without five out of seven players graded over 200. Even top county teams would find it difficult to cope in circumstances like this.
