Fist pumps all round

SCCU Open: Kent 7½-8½ Essex
At Rochester. Long has it been forecast, now it has happened. The Essex Open team, so used to punching above its weight only to be the valiant losers, today delivered, away to Kent at a new venue in Rochester. The visiting Essex team with an average grade of 182, faced a Kent line-up with an average grade of 194 - plus 12 a board average. Nine of the home team were graded 200+ against Essex' two in that category. We will need to check the records, but suspect this is the first Essex win against Kent since Essex beat Kent in the 2005-06 national Final. Today's Kent team was even stronger than then! More commentary on the Open page and a game.
