The Harvey Cup team finished the regular season with a draw against a very strong Lewisham side on exactly the maximum average grade and also including a 10 year old who had jumped 26 grading points in the January grading list. After two quick losses we were up against it, especially as Keith, Rob and Gary all had slightly worse positions. Gary gained a draw despite his awful pawn structure and Keith drew with the talented 10 year old. Ian then ground out a win and finally Rob turned his game around with both players in time-trouble and mated his opponent.

In the Kent League semi-final the team will be playing Snodland.
