Commentary from Peter Nickals
Essex kicked off the new campaign with a solid preformance.
Daria Holic, despite being an hour down on the clock, outplayed her opponent to seal our first game win, closely followed by wins for Ken Groce, Zebedee Jones and Alan Riddoch. Some excellent team draws took us over the line to seal the match, including Trevor Dickerson who also covered as match captain.

Commentary by Peter Nickals
Some nice wins, especially John Jestico and David Smith. David’s game was clearly lost only at one point; his opponent thought he has checkmate only to be checked mated himself!
Team was supposed to have been a lot stronger but a number (six players this week) dropped out and I was very fortunate to find last minute replacements in the nick of time. Was surprised not to have defaulted boards.
