12 Sept. Poole Captain Eric Sachs Reports:

On a most enjoyable night as the season commenced with  the traditional curtain raiser, Poole beat Bournemouth 17-12 to win the trophy for the first time in 4 years. Quote from the losing captain Martin Simons “it was a great night, great venue, great spirit and some great chess and very well done to Poole”. Martin complimented his team on arriving by 7.15pm for the match and he had no withdrawals. His actual words….”proud and impressed”.

Winning captain Eric Sachs commented ‘ I am so proud of our team where 18 Poole club members took part and were supported ably by Wimborne and Ringwood players. It was a night when all the players came together, but it is lot of work arranging. Martin did much to bring all his players to the match and was very gracious in stepping down to even up the pairings on the top board. It’s nice to win at the time, and disappointing to lose on the night, but the overall success of the event and the spirit of 58 local players giving their best, playing chess, is the real winner. Special thanks to the helpers Steve Bailey, John Weatherlake, Adam Jaggard and Graham Morris for managing the bookstall etc and anyone else I have forgotten who supported the evening”.

ps Many thanks to Poole for providing the excellent facilities and also the Captains – Martin Simons (Bournemouth) & Eric Sachs (Poole) who put so much work in to make the evening such a success. There were 62 on the night, of whom 58 took part
