Chess Interclub against the Thames Valley Team

Ron from Papakura

Hi all our Counties Chess Club Team went to Thames last weekend to Play the Thames Valley Chess Team we played at the Junction Hotel owned and run by Karl. Thanks Very Much Karl for everything!
The Thames Valley Team had players from Thames, Paeroa and Waihi with more players coming along from Turua and Te Aroha. The Counties Team won 8.5 to 1.5 but there were some very tough and lucky for us games.
Hopefully today will provide some impetus for Chess Clubs in the Thames Valley Region to grow Chess interest in the area.

Regards

Ron Lanning
