It has been a successful campaign for our teams in the league for the 2025/26 season.
West Nottingham 1 had a shaky start but then performed well, bolstered by the return to chess of Tony Wright who gave the team strength in depth. We finished comfortably in third place, ideal as we didn’t want to promote to the much tougher environment of the 5-player teams in Division 1!
West Nottingham 2 settled in well under new captain Jonathan Ellinsfield, and finished second in Div 4, meaning they will promote to Div 3 next season.
West Nottingham 3 also promoted, from Div 5 to Div 4, however this was a bit disappointing as they looked like winning the division for most of the season, coming unstuck in the final weeks.
Finally, in the Minor League our young team West Nottingham New Brooms competed well and finished second, all good experience for them.
We look forward to the new season starting in September!
