John Gorman 1-0 Richard Burton
David Bennion 1-0 Michael Whale
John Povall ½-½ Haydn Parry
Marvin Hayes ½-½ Michael Lee

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.
