50 A Jones 0-1 P Mountford. 70
U C Mustafa 0-1 D Jones. 49
A memorable game in that this is the first time we have played a match against our former neighbours at our own venue. However the result was not so memorable as we put in a disappointing display against a side we normally do well against. Only a fine performance on board 2 by Jim saved us from complete humiliation.
Newcastle D 2 v Foley B 2 Div 3 5/11/03.
Grade. Newcastle D. Foley B. Grade.
B Werner. 1-0 R Tunstall. 87

M Gawley 0-1 R Hammersley. 62
C Gawley 1-0 M Wilton. 51
At last the B team got off the mark with a battling draw against Newcastle's D team who also picked up their first point. Any hopes of another victory against our opponents were soon dashed as they ran up a two-point lead. Roy on board 3 played a captain's innings and pulled a point back before i managed to grind out a win on board 2 with my opponent resigning due to time trouble. The camaraderie of the club was epitomized when i commented that i had nearly asked for a draw at one stage to which a team-mate, who shall remain nameless, replied:" if you had, you'd have been f***ing walking home"! I THINK he was joking!!
Foley B 1½ v Stafford B 2½ Div 3 10/11/03 .
Grade. Foley B. Stafford B. Grade.
81 P Tideswell 0-1 J Tuckley. 100
87 R Tunstall ½-½ D Crujic. 106
75 J Reader 0-1 P Evans. 89
62 R Hammersley 1-0 F Hill. 77
This was always going to be a tough game and so it proved. Richard gained a useful draw on board 2 and Roy again did the business on board 4. With the scores level it was up to yours truly on board 1. However after capturing my opponents rook i managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by losing my Queen a few moves later.
Foley B 1 v Foley A 3 . Div 3 01/12/03.

49 M Wilton 0-1 R Tunstall. 87
Again the A team came out on top, but at least the B team doubled their score in the reverse fixture with Roy performing heroics on board 2.
Kidsgove B 2½ v Foley B 1½ . Div 3 15/12/03.

R Brock ½-½ C Mustafa. U
M Burndred 1-0 A Jones. 50
The B team came oh so close to causing an upset and doing their colleagues in the A team a huge favour. The top 3 boards all drew against higher graded opposition, but unfortunetely Alan was unable to secure anything on board 4.
Foley B 2 v Kidsgrove A . 2 Div 3 12/01/04.

Stafford B 4 v Foley B 0 . Div 3 3/02/04.
Grade. Stafford B. Foley B. Grade.
Oh dear, not a very good performance saw the B team get their first nil of the season. The only memorable point came when Roy commented to me that Jim's game was looking like a long drawn out affair. No sooner had he said it, Jim knocked his king over and resigned.
