Suffolk Chess

As explained earlier, one match had to be postponed until January due to freezing fog conditions on 11 December. The winding road between Stowmarket and Saxmundham can be unpleasant at the best of times.

So the table below needs to be interpreted with a mind to that outstanding match:

DIVISION 2

Team	Played	Won	Drawn	Lost	Points
Bury St Edmunds B	5	4	1	0	13½
Adastral	5	3	1	1	12
Saxmundham A	4	2	1	1	10
Bury St Edmunds C	5	2	0	3	8
Clacton A	5	0	1	4	6½
Stowmarket A	4	1	0	3	6

Saxmundham A would need to win their outstanding match 4 - 0 to overtake Bury St Edmunds B at the head of the table.   Promotion to Division 1 is the prize for the leading team at the end of the season.

Stowmarket need just half a point from their postponed match to consign Clacton A to the foot of the table.

The Player of the Season competition is led by Mark Le-Vine (Bury St Edmunds C) with four straight wins, followed by Bob Jones (Bury St Edmunds B) with 5/6 (played once for the C team).  In equal third place are Simon Riley (Adastral) and Malcolm Lightfoot (Saxmundham A), both on 75% (3/4).
