CHESS TEAM - from Phoenix 68 [published November 1968]

The Chess Team had a successful season, finishing runners-up in the Thames Valley League, winning nine games Out of a total of twelve. The team was very reliable and was very ably captained by the undefeated Craig Randall. Quintin Kills, who for three years had givenvery valuable service to the Chess Club, was very consistent. Fincham on board three had a good season and played very keenly. On board four, Nolan improved considerably after a very shaky start. Prickett, playing for the first time in the Chess Team, had an admirable season. Finally, Peter Worthy, onboard six, played extremely ably.

Preparing for the future, the junior team, which consisted of first formers, did extremely well towards the end of the season, and must improve.

Many thanks must go to Carol Dyke and Theresa DOliveira, for their efficient and faithful provision of refreshments at all the home matches.
