06/03/07.After a good draw the previous
Friday, Fenton D were unable to continue where they left off as
they succumbed to a stronger Cheddleton team at The New Penny
last night (Mon 5 March). Things got off to an encouraging start
after Robert earned the "man of the match award" with an
excellent draw against an opponent graded 39 points higher than
himself.
However, the team could not keep the momentum going as Mark and
Joe unfortunately lost on boards two and three. The only other
bright spot was newcomer Lee Jones scrapping for a well earned
draw on the bottom board in only his second game for the club.
