Ron from Papakura

Interclub Chess Match between the Franklin Chess Club and the Thames Chess Club

On Saturday 23rd March the Franklin Chess Club (contact details are below) travelled to the Thames Chess Club to play an Interclub match. The event was accompanied by a morning tea of biscuits, chocolate eggs, tea and coffee.The Match was officially won by the Franklin team by 6-4 but it was a close run thing it was 3 games each after 6 games!.However the Games were played in tremendous spirit and the day was a Very Enjoyable one for all involved.Interclub matches between the two Clubs will be run twice a year, with the next Interclub Match scheduled for November this year.

For those interested in the Franklin Chess Club, the Club meets monthly on the first Thursday of each month at 7pm at the Pukekohe Library upstairs in the Leslie Comrie room. All ages and skill levels welcome. For further details email ron-lanning@xtra.co.nz or ask to be a member of our Facebook Group on www.facebook.com... .

Many thanks to Russell from the Thames Chess Club for organising everything and to Age Concern Thames for allowing the Thames Chess Club to use their premises for this Match.
