22/04/08 Knockout Cup Final After being plagued with a string of inexplicable losses this season, Whoberley A finally found some of the form which led them to such great success last year and overcame Nuneaton A in a very closely contested final - the result of the match being eventually decided by the board 1 game.
13/03/08 John Evans Funeral The funeral will be held on Thursday 20th March at 10am at Lime Tree Park Church which is on Elm Tree avenue. A map to this location can be found by clicking Here This will be followed by a burial at Canley and the reception will be held at the Jaguar Club on Browns Lane.
11/03/08 Individual Lightning Results In one of the strongest individual lightning events in recent years, Simon Fowler of Warwick University was able to overcome the competition and take first place with 5½/6. In second and third place were Joey Stewart of Whoberley with 5/6 and Jon Cox of Rugby with 4½/6. A full breakdown of the event will appear on the individual lightning page soon.
09/03/08 The League is once again saddened by the death of one of its most influential members, John
Evans (secretary of Whoberley) on Friday night. John had been club secretary since it began around 40 years ago and leaves
behind a great void in the league as he had personally run most of the clubs activity since this time. John had struggled
with illnesses for many years but always kept a positive outlook on life and an eye for new talent.

Final Season Round Up:
27/01/08 Slow results - I have recently had some troubles with my computer, meaning the results were not published as frequently as usual. The problem has been partially remidied and I now have access to perform the updates but am needing to replace sometime soon, so if the results stop coming for a few days this will be the reason.
27/01/08 Two narrow wins by the top division 1 teams see them retain position, the gap still a mere one point. Division 2 leaders, Whoberley C, saw their lead reduced to just 2 points after a loss to second placed University C. In division 3 Meriden Knights lead but, with a game in hand, Whoberley G could still catch them up - University E also remain in contention for the promotion spot into the second division.
16/01/08 In Division 1 University A begin to challenge Nuneaton A for the division 1 title with a win over their fellow B team. In division 2 Whoberley C further increase their lead over their nearest rivals, they now look likely to win the division. Division 3 remains very closely contested, with any of the top four teams being in a position to win.
10/01/08 As the season resumes, competition for the division 1 championships intensifies as leaders Nuneaton A are reduced to a mere 1 point lead over the strong university sides who occupy second and thid place respectively. In division 2, Whoberley C still look favourites for promotion but Littpethorpe B and University C are still battling it for the second spot.
