It says it all really! Unlucky Dundee City A, but sometimes you just have to suck it up when faced with a team like that! Dundee City A are in 6th place in Division One, Group D. No easy matches in this group!
Division Five – Group D
Uxbridge Destroyers 0, Dundee City B 4
Fantastic result once again by Dundee City B, destroying the destroyers with some aplomb! On paper this was the result expected, but when it`s online you just never know until it`s over! This is some line up for our “B” team! They now sit top of the division in group D!

Division Seven – Swiss (70 teams)
Londinium Centurions 3½, Dundee City C ½
Out graded, out gunned on all four boards, the result was never in doubt, or was it? Looking at the grading`s you might have expected a 4-0 loss. Dariusz on board one played a blinder and was unlucky maybe not to get the win. What a game and well played everyone against very hard opponents, especially Dariusz!
