UCU League Division One
| Team | Played | Won | Draw | Lost | Points | % |
| RVH Hawks | 16 | 12 | 1 | 3 | 81.0 | 78 |
| QUB | 15 | 13 | 0 | 2 | 76.5 | 87 |
| Fisherwick | 14 | 6 | 2 | 6 | 51.0 | 50 |
| The Away Team | 16 | 3 | 2 | 11 | 33.0 | 25 |
| Lagan | 15 | 1 | 1 | 13 | 24.5 | 10 |
As Hawks were 7.5 points ahead going into this, their last game, a draw would have won the title over QUB. As it is, the latter can win the title by beating Fisherwick in a postponed match which QUB have claimed by default. League controller David Houston will require the wisdom of Solomon to solve this one. Will David “sling” their claim out (yes, it’s a biblical pun!) And force them to play Fisherwick or will he award them the title by default (“de fault” of “de” Fisherwick team)? Meanwhile, Lagan “sank” without trace against The Away Team to finish last, even if they win their delayed game against Fisherwick.

I was reviewing a few of Tom Clarkes chess games this evening via the Irish chess union site. Tom and for that matter Steve Scannell were members,as i was for a time, of RVH chess club.
I had the priviledge of playin Tom via an internet chess site shortly before his death. He pulverised me of course. RIP Tom
