Essex rise to the occasion |
|
07
March 2010 20:12:58Needing to win by a large margin in their last match against Herts, the Essex Open team rose to the occasion with a resounding 13-3 victory, to secure qualification to the national stages of the ECF County Championship. Acting Captain, Ivor Smith, and his squad deserve every praise for this supreme effort. They now have to contest a Preliminary round against the 3rd placed team in the Midlands. More...
In their last match of the season, the U140 team were not able to conclude with the desired win, but equalled their highest score of the previous fixture, in losing 9½-6½ away to Herts. So, a disappointing season, but not as pointless as their score (sorry for that!); 27 players experienced County chess with the U140 team this season and will come back stronger next season. Details...
The Essex U100 team, already SCCU Champions, completed the season with a 100% record, with a home win against Surrey. Details...

U180s finish with a win |
|
The SCCU competition for the U180s finished with a home win against the Champions, Surrey, by 9-7. Since the qualifying places were already decided, Essex qualify 2nd, nothing hung on this fixture, other than bragging rights. More...

First U100 Champions! |
|
With their third straight win, a thumping 9-3 victory away to Kent, the Essex U100 team has emulated the U160 side by winning its SCCU Division with a match to spare. Many congratulations to Malcolm Crane and his merry band on this success in the first U100 season (played as U075 in last year's inaugural season).
Essex therefore qualify for the first ECF U100 competition, where they get a bye to the semi-final and await the winners/nominees from the Northern Counties. More...
Meanwhile, the U140 team "produced its best result of the season by losing only by 6½-9½" in the words of team captain, Simon Moth. More...

U160s Champions while U180s Qualify |
|
The Essex U160 team wrapped up the SCCU U160 Championship with a round to spare, when securing a 9-7 victory away to Surrey at Coulsdon. Many congratulations to David Payne and his squad, who maintained their 100% record, now 4/4.
The U180 team, meanwhile, secured qualification to the national stages with a 9-7 away win to bottom team Middlesex. Surrey are Champions with a round to spare. Essex's only challengers, Sussex, are one point back but, even though in the final fixtures Essex play Champions Surrey while Sussex play bottom team Middlesex, Essex's favourable Game Points total against Sussex gives Essex 2nd spot no matter what the results in the final round.
The third result on a busy weekend, was a loss for the U120 team away to Kent, by 7-5. This confirmed Kent as U120 Champions; Essex have failed to qualify.
