It was an all-Scottish encounter for Ashfield Anonymous in the opening round of Season Eleven.
Anonymous “A” promoted to Division One this season faced tough opposition in previous champions, Dundee City “A”. There was a fine draw for David C against international master Richard Polaczek on Board One but the remaining boards were hard fought but in the end there was no beano for the local team losing 3½-½.
Revenge came swiftly as Anonymous “B” beat Dundee City “C” by 2½-1½; some of the games were as stodgy as week-old porridge with three draws resulting and it was left to captain David F to win on top board to decide the match.
Anonymous “C” have been promoted into Division Two and faced East Kilbride in their opening match when the Lanarkshire side were sent reeling to a 4-0 loss where they were comprehensively beaten.
