The results have been bad since the move to Pen-y-ffordd.
We are not sure whether it is a jinx
or if it just provides us with a good excuse for losing.
This was the first win for any Caergwrle team this season
Marvin Hayes drew on bottom board in an even game
whilst Bob Clark drew with reigning
Chester league champion John Blore.
After John Gorman won and John Povall drew
the score was 2½-1½.
Dave Bennion was the lsat to finish.
Dave won the exchange and his opponent later resigned.

The two sides had met the previous week
in the Wirral first division,
resulting in a 3-2 win for Chester.
Caergwrle were without Bob Clark this time
while Chris Doran was available for Chester.
Caergwrle were whitewashed,
John Gorman and Dave Bennion
lost material in their games
whilst Marvin Hayes, Dave Parker-Williams
and Dave Dickson also lost.

Caergwrle were well beaten by a strong Wrexham side.
Neville Layhe was the only one to get anything,
drawing against Brian Davies.
This was the final game at the Derby Arms Caergwrle
before the move to the British Legion, Pen-Y-Ffordd.
