Since it started about five years ago, we have had a team playing in the Trafford League. Only those club members with BCF grades less than or equal to 90 were eligible to play in this League, and teams consisted of just four players. Our team has always had excellent results, in fact, we have twice been the champions, and were runners up in 2007-8, when came second by only a single point!
However, the Trafford League organizers have seen fit to change the rules, restricting players taking part to those with ECF grades of 75 or less. Since this would rule out a significant number of our regular team members, we decided to withdraw from the Trafford League. and in its place enter a third team into the bottom division of the Stockport Chess League. Our thanks to Andy Walker for his successful efforts as Captain of the Under-90 team last year, and our best wishes to as he takes on the role of Captain of the new C-Team.
