Exeter & District Chess League

I must admit to being fairly unfamiliar with the Exeter & District League, being one of the few leagues in the south west I haven't actually played in. The best source of information for this league is the site linked to in the title. Nevertheless, here are the league tables as they stand:

I've emailed Exeter & District League Secretary, Ken Derrick, inviting him to comment on the League, so hopefully I'll be able to add to this post in the near future.

A couple of comments I'll make first: I don't know whether it's because of my teams (Sedgemoor/ Sedgeless, Sambucca Sharks/ Sambucca Black Sheep.), but I do prefer it when teams give their first/ second team names a bit of distinction ( Exeter, Exeter Pawns, Gambits etc. Tiverton Ravens, Magpies.), as opposed to just team 'A', 'B' etc.

Also, it's good to see a couple of junior teams competing.

  1. Div 1 should be Exeter Rooks. At least I think it should, the trouble with names like Exeter Rooks, Exeter Gambits, is that no one can ever remember which is which.
