Farthing Cup Won by South Yorkshire

 

Andrew Zigmond writes to captains as follows:

 

Dear All

 

The results from today's matches were;

North Yorkshire 7-5 West Yorkshire

South Yorkshire 6½-5½ East Yorkshire

 

Two very hard fought matches that could have gone either way.  However the final league table is here https://ecflms.org.uk/lms/node/66212/table  and the winners’ spoils go to South Yorkshire who won all three of their matches.

 

I've decided to make the Farthing Cup an annual event that will be played over the board when circumstances permit and earlier today I purchased a trophy to be presented to the winner every year. Geoff - I'll contact you when I receive it to discuss getting it to South Yorkshire.

 

Thank you again for all your support in making my initial idea a reality.  As I said to North players earlier, hopefully it's been good to do something a bit different and that everyone involved has enjoyed it.

 

Andrew

 

Two close matches in the final round, played on 10/04/2021, resulted in a narrow win for South Yorkshire, with 22½ game points to North Yorkshire’s 21½ game points, both somewhat ahead of East Yorkshire on 16, and West Yorkshire on 12.

Lichess “handles” to access the games on Lichess.  On that basis, 17 out of 24 is pretty good!)
