Close Encounters of the Chessy Kind.
October 21st, 2012 | 
Author: At the weekend the first blows were traded in this year’s Inter-County Competition, with Somerset and Hants meeting at Mere. while Gloucestershire met Cornwall at their usual venue of Exminster Village Hall.
Both matches were very tightly contested, with the first match ending in an 8-8 draw, and Cornwall losing by the odd point to Gloucestershire. This may presage a series of close encounters for the rest of the season.
Next weekend, Devon II meet Dorset in an U-160 match at Luppitt. Will this one go down to the wire?
