Unranked player: Humza Ahmed.
Wykeham player pulled out with illness on the day. Humza was the only player available to step in and kindly offered to play. I didn't realise Humza is ranked in Oct, but unfortunately not in Sept. However better to put out a full team rather than only 4.

Wykeham Exiles 3 Beat Alton Academy 1 in a close match.
With the away team having higher Gradings in 3 of the strings, Home advantage looked to be needed to take the win. Local knowledge duly defeated the statisticians and the home team came through for a good win.
On paper, the number 2 string should have been the closest, with only 95 ranking points separating the two players before the match.
Home advantage prevailed though, with James Barton winning through.
It was the number 3 String which turned out to be the most competitive, with the Players battling out over a total of 73 Points ! Victory finally going to the Home Player, Andrew Kettlewell.

Wykeham unranked player Humza Ahmed to be added for next period. Unranked players should only player for a club's lowest team but made no difference in this case anyway. |
