Horfield Chess Club took the spoils in both the Bristol League Knockout Cup and the Minor Knockout Cup to round off a very successful season. The committee are busy looking back through the record books to see if two Division titles and two cup victories is the biggest single season haul of trophies in the club’s history.

Something of a Minor KO specialist, the narrow 3.5 - 2.5 win over Clevedon on 29th April gave Horfield their 3rd Minor KO trophy in 4 years!

However, the big game was a week later when Horfield took on Clifton in the Knockout Final. Clifton had dropped only two points in the league all season and looked favourites for the cup, but Horfield held their nerve to win 4.5 - 3.5!

The Knockout Trophy has eluded Horfield since 2000 so it was great to get our hands on it again, but the one we really want is the Division 1 championship which we haven’t won since 2001 - maybe next season!
