@edczestochowski I'll expect a Premier League team in 5 years then!

Two local chess players of somewhat different stripes are going head to head in the general election: https://t.co/TbeVXN9RkH

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

My mistake. Tynemouth-Gosforth is not till next week. The maths was right though.

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Durham only need to win. Tynemouth need a win and a Durham draw or loss. Leam Lane can sneak in if both fail to win.

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Title deciders at Gosforth tonight: Morpeth A vs. Durham City and Gosforth Empire vs. Tynemouth A.

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Durham play Forest Hall then Morpeth. Leam Lane play Rookies then Forest Hall. The league has been won by a margin of ½ a game point before.

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Aces 3 Tynemouth 2! That's just about the best result for Durham City, whose record is now identical to Leam Lane's with two rounds to play.

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Every game point counts for Leam Lane now. Number they racked up against Morpeth = 4. Number they are now ahead of Durham City = ½. Tense!

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Forest Hall's Friday team beat Tynemouth B to leapfrog them and the Rookies. One feels Wall vs. Riding shouldn't be a relegation match.

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Good news for Durham: one team is probably going to lose the Aces-Tynemouth match. Bad news: one team is probably going to win.

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Aces-Morpeth, Aces-Tynemouth and Durham-Morpeth are the crucial fixtures still to come. Morpeth have it all to do.

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Tynemouth and Durham City swat away a Jesmond team each, while Gosforth draw yet again. That's Knights and Gosforth out of contention.

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Shouldn't have said anything. Leam Lane + Tavoularis swipe Jes Knights's unbeaten record and overtake them in the process. Hmph!

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Leam Lane Aces have showed up to the party with a whitewash of Tynedale. Do that again and they can catch Durham having already played them.

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Comets retake the lead in Division 2, on game points from the Regents. Those two teams have clinched places in the promotion group.

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Forest Hall, with 3 players out through illness and international duty, are spiflicated by Tynemouth A who go top.

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Morpeth and Jesmond Knights also have their fate in their own hands, but must take points off Durham to keep it that way.

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Durham City hit the front in Div 1 with victory at Gosforth, but they still need a favour from one of Tynemouth A's remaining opponents.

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Forest Hall stay bottom, but only on match points and game points. On contribution to local chess, they are surging ahead of the pack.

[Northumberland Chess @NCALeague]

Knights win the Northumbria League's first ever 15-board match at Forest Hall to move a point behind the leaders with a match in hand.
