21 Jun 2009
  • U100 SF 20.6.09 Norfolk 4½ 7½ Surrey. The last of the semi-finals, and it looks as though Surrey will be going to Leicester to play Kent. At least that's one title the SCCU can't help winning.
19 Jun 2009

15 May 2009
  • Counties Quarter-finals: we give a non-SCCU result in full which previously we had as a bare match score. We don't promise this for all foreign matches, even where we know the details, but we'll do our best while they're not readily available elsewhere.
  • Yateley Manor Schools Championship: the alternative Quarter-finals are complete.
14 May 2009

30 Apr 2009
27 Apr 2009
  • EPSCA U9 Inter-Association Finals 25.4.09
  • The ECF-Stage Preliminaries are mostly in, though there is an SCCU County we've not heard anything from. The all-foreign matches, for the moment at least, are appearing as bare match scores and are not troubling "What's New"; so keep watching that page.
26 Apr 2009

17 Apr 2009
09 Apr 2009
  • National Club Major: the semi-final draw (and one presumed quarter-final result)
  • Open Forum. John Wheeler adds to David Sedgwick's Grading note
06 Apr 2009
03 Apr 2009
  • National Club Minor: the semi-final draw. It implies some quarter-final results which were not known to us.
01 Apr 2009
31 Mar 2009
  • SCCU U18 Jamborees 29.3.09
  • National Club Major: the last of the quarter-final results, save an all-foreign one, and just in time to meet tomorrow's deadline

27 Mar 2009
23 Mar 2009
22 Mar 2009
  • U100 21.3.09 Middx 6 6 Kent
  • The League Tables, tempting fate, have changed their name to "Final League Tables". Check if we're right.
21 Mar 2009
  • U100 21.3.09 Surrey 7½ 4½ Herts
19 Mar 2009
  • SCCU U180 & U135 Jamborees 29.3.09: another update on entries. The Jamborees are viable now. But it is still not too late to enter!

17 Mar 2009

  • U150 14.3.09 (bare match scores: details tomorrow) Kent 7 9 Herts; Essex 7½ 8½ Surrey. This concludes the U150. We won't venture an opinion on the positions here, but there's one in the League Tables page if you'd like to check it.

  • U175 7.3.09 Sussex 5 11 Essex; Middx 10½ 5½ Surrey
  • U100 7.3.09 Herts 7 5 Middx; Essex 5 7 Surrey. Our nominees are decided, but not their order.
07 Mar 2009
  • U175 7.3.09 Sussex 5 11 Essex; Middx 10½ 5½ Surrey. This concludes the U175, and Essex retain their title. Please check our League Table.
06 Mar 2009
  • U175 25.1.09 Kent 7½ 7½ Essex. The claims and appeal have run their course and the match is still a draw. This means the U175 title is still up for grabs tomorrow.
04 Mar 2009
  • ECF Grades: a new revision appeared on the ECF site yesterday evening, including important changes to junior New Grades.
03 Mar 2009
01 Mar 2009
  • County matches: qualifiers for the ECF Stage are starting to emerge from the Unions. Keep an eye on the ECF-stage page for updates - they are unlikely to be signalled in What's New - and tell us if you know of qualifiers we're not listing.
27 Feb 2009
  • Yateley Manor Schools: the Zones are complete, and we have the first-round draw of the National stage
  • National Club Under 100. One more result and a default, concluding the first round; plus the next-round draw
24 Feb 2009
  • U125 21.2.09 Kent 11½ 4½ Surrey: Surrey withdraw their claim and concede board 2
23 Feb 2009
  • U125 21.2.09 Essex 6½ 9½ Middx
22 Feb 2009

  • U75 21.2.09 (bare match score) Essex 5 5 Surrey
17 Feb 2009
  • National Club. A new result in the Under 100. That concludes the SCCU half of the quarter-finals; the foreigners may take a little longer.
16 Feb 2009
  • SCCU Individual Championship 2009-10 and British Championship Qualifying places 2010. Applications are invited from congresses wishing to host the SCCU Championship and/or to receive a BCQ place from the SCCU.

  • National Club. Our first Open result of the season.
15 Feb 2009
  • Open 14.2.09 Middx 10½ 5½ Essex, Herts 5 11 Sussex, Kent 8½ 7½ Surrey
  • U150 14.2.09 Surrey 10½ 5½ Kent, Herts 8½ 7½ Sussex
  • U100 14.2.09 Kent 7½ 4½ Herts
  • According to our arithmetic... Kent take the Championship with a match to spare, and duplicate the feat in the U100. Middx did the same in the U125 three weeks ago and we never noticed (sorry, Middx). Meanwhile, the U150 looks set for an interesting last round. The League tables show all the positions we think are certain, and you are invited to check our calculations. Later note: the Tournament Controller has, and agrees with them.
14 Feb 2009
  • Open 14.2.09 (bare match score) Middx 10½ 5½ Essex
  • U150 14.2.09 (bare match scores) Surrey 10½ 5½ Kent, Herts 8½ 7½ Sussex

13 Feb 2009

  • National Club Major. Half of the quarter-final draw. Thank you to our (SCCU) club source, and the other half comes when someone tells us it.
11 Feb 2009
10 Feb 2009
  • U100 7.2.09 Middx 6 6 Essex
  • The ECF Yearbook is out. We've done a review, just for once.
09 Feb 2009
  • U100 7.2.09 (bare match score) Middx 6 6 Essex
06 Feb 2009
  • For your diary: the U14/90 Final Kent v Surrey is fixed for Sunday 19th April at Sevenoaks
05 Feb 2009
  • U175: two rulings by the Controller. 25.1.09 Kent 7½ 7½ Essex with 1 game void; and 31.1.09 Sussex 13 3 Kent: Kent claim upheld
02 Feb 2009
  • U100 31.1.09 Essex 5 7 Kent
01 Feb 2009
  • U175 31.1.09 Essex 9½ 6½ Middx, Sussex 13 2 Kent with 1 disputed result. You know you'd be disappointed if there wasn't a disputed result.
  • U100 31.1.09 (bare match score) Essex 5 7 Kent
  • National Club. Our first U100 result, and the quarter-final draw in the Minor

  • U100 31.1.09 Surrey 10 2 Middx

  • U75 24.1.09 Kent 5½ 4½ Essex
  • U14/90 24.1.09 Surrey 15½ 8½ Herts
  • National Club. Two Major results (one deplored), and one Minor
  • Yateley Manor Schools Championship. The Zone Finals approach, and updates are going in as and when. They won't always disturb "What's New", so check the page from time to time if you want to keep up to date.
20 Jan 2009
  • National Club Major. Another result. All NC matches but one, so far, have had SCCU ingredients. We fear the SCCU score against foreigners is only 2 out of 3.
