Que sera, sera, whatever will be will be, we’re going to Battersea, que sera, sera!
Get your blue bunting ready and book that open-top bus for the parade, because Battersea Chess Club is in the final of Surrey’s premier knockout competition, the Alexander Cup.
In a much-anticipated semi-final on Tuesday night, Blair Connell’s team put in a dominant performance to beat Epsom 6-4. The match was won at 6-1, before three losses made the scoreline look closer.
Here is the scorecard:
However, as always, Epsom put on a good fight and were excellent guests.
Follwing the end of play, Epsom posted this on Twitter:
Battersea now face Kingston in the final, on a date yet to be arranged.
The last time Battersea won the Alexander Cup was exactly 70 years ago, in 1953. Can we end 70 years of hurt?
