The second team moved up to Division 2 this season so are going to find it tough!
In first match against Gorgie Dalry we battled well, holding the top two boards against higher rated opponents. But in the end the match was lost but could easily have been drawn or even a win.
In second match against Edinburgh 6 the teams were closely matched on gradings but the home team won on the night.
