Rainham v Swale

The first Summer quickplay group match concluded in a resounding victory for Rainham. Scoring three wins in each of the first three rounds and concluded with 4 wins in the final round meant we won this match 13½ - 2½

Martin Taylor 4/4, Oliver James 3/4, Chris Brown 3/4, Rob Springett 1½/2, Gary Clifford 2/2

Medway 1 v Rainham

Our match at Medway is a match we would rather forget as it resulted in a rather one sided affair in losing this by the Margin of 11-5.  Martin however kept is 100% in tact with another 4 wins.

Martin Taylor 4/4, Andy Waters 1/4, Rob Springett 0/4, Gary Clifford 0/4

Hastings v Rainham

In my absence Martin Captained the team for our trip to Hastings.  This resulted in a win for Rainham by the narrowest of margins of 8½ - 7½ This realistically meant that any chances of qualifying for the semi final stages looked remote.

Martin Taylor 2½/4,  Andy Waters 3/4, Chris Brown 2/4, Stephen Taylor 1/4

Rainham v Weald of Kent

Our final game in this years Summer quickplay resulted in a convincing victory by the margin of 11-5.  Rounds 2 and 3 were comprehensive wins scoring a total of 7 points with the other two rounds finished level.
