The second round of the West Wales Closed Championship (E.J. Clarke Trophy) took place as scheduled on the 21st November at the Castell-Nedd Chess Club (Tonna Rugby Club). Not unexpectedly a number of the games were not played on this date with the players involved deciding to play at a venue and date of their own choosing. Watch out for updates.

The results for the games that were played are as follows:

Albert Easton 0 v 1 Ian Jones

Peter Bevan 1 v 0 Tony Goodchild

Dennis Thomas 0 v 1 Andrew Smith

John Davies 1 v 0 June Evans (played 14th November)

Still to be played

To date Ian Jones, Peter Bevan, Andrew Smith and Moss McCarthy head the leader board with 2 points each. Mike Cleaves or Paul Bevan will join them depending on who wins their match (unless it's a draw!).
