What it says on the tin! At some point I’m supposed to be creating an Excel-based archive of league results, but that hasn’t quite happened yet, and so what you see here is a snapshot of the main league website as it appeared on 20th September 2011, right before I deleted everything to make way for the 2011-12 season.
Wherever you see “Posted by Chris W”, that’s me, Chris Wardle, the League Conductor.

Further details of Eldon Leisure’s 3-2 win over Tynemouth Trojans will follow later, but of more interest to Division 1 watchers will be the effect of that result on the relegation places: the Leisure have jumped off the trapdoor at the last minute and it’s Jesmond Rookies whose three-year stay in the top flight is over, barring any summer reshuffles.
Hearty commiserations must go to the Rookies whose battle for survival, without any former Zollner champions making guest appearances on Board 1, was as intriguing a subplot to the league season as ever. Congratulations to Forest Hall A and Eldon Leisure whose full-strength sides, at least, have proven themselves deserving of a place in next season’s Division 1.

Morpeth B started the evening with their promotion place still in doubt, and finished it as 2nd division champions. With an average grade comparable to a mid-table 1st division team, their success was perhaps inevitable, but congratulations must go to them for a 100% performance that included the surprisingly rare feat of two 5-0 victories in one season.
That wraps up the 2nd division programme, with the exception of what will now be a leisurely evening out for the new champions against their venue-mates Alnwick.

Their promotion was in the morning horoscopes after their draw with Gateshead A on Thursday, and was rubber-stamped when the latter team could only harvest three game points at Forest Hall, leaving them 5½ behind the South Tynesiders with one to play. It’s their first foray into the top flight since 1998, and means that over a space of four seasons every Northumberland club will have been represented in Division 1.
Gateshead could still muscle in on second place if they beat Morpeth B and mid-table Alnwick do likewise.

Not for at least 30 years has a club successfully kept three teams in the same division, and a serious points failure in the Tynemouth area has put paid to the latest heroic attempt. As an illustration of the uphill task that they faced from the start: after nine matches and 45 individual games, there have been three victories by Castles players. Two of them rank among this season’s top five giant-killing feats. The third was the single game out of 45 in which the Castles player outgraded his opponent.

A closely-fought victory over Newcastle gives Leam Lane Aces the Division 1 title, their fourth in seven years, with a round to spare. Congratulations to International Master Jonathan Hawkins, Nick Tavoularis, Kyril Fomin, Richard Doyle, John Marsh, captain Robert Forsythe and “manager” Alan Young. Such was the brilliance of these gentlemen, so fluently did their pieces harmonise with their pawn structure, that some bloke called Chris Wardle who they dragged off the street to keep board 5 warm could have lost every game he played and they’d still be celebrating the title tonight.
