The treble for Linton

Linton Chess Club, who play in the Bury Area Chess League, have triumphed in all three divisions.   Their first team, Linton A, won Division 1 with nine wins and a draw from their ten matches.   Only five players were needed, with Kevin Clark leading scorer on 8½/10.   Other scores were: David Coleman 6½/9; Ashley Stewart 6½/10; Paul Kemp 4½/5; and Liam Varnam 4½/6.

In Division 2, Linton Blacks won all ten matches, although half of them were by the narrowest of margins.   Top scorer was Martin Pinner, on 6½/8.

Linton Whites won Division 3, although they drew three matches and lost one.   That was the only loss by any Linton team this season (in 30 matches!)
