26 Feb 2025: Editor's apologies; NHS v Selkirk B; Selkirk
Championship
Our apologies for this site not having been updated for a week: the
editor was moving to a new house and things have been just too busy the last
week.
League news is that the NHS v Selkirk B match took place on 26th Feb, with NHS running out winners by 2½-1½. One piece of good news for
Selkirk was the fierce attack that Sam Cornwell directed against Keith Robinson's King, forcing Keith's resignation one move before mate.
