Sat 27th May, Moira Report by Derek
Four members entered the 2017 Ashby Anniversary Shield, just enough to allow it to be played. Lack of entries have meant a lapse in this internal 26-point AC event being contested since 2012.
Experienced players Tim King and Derek Buxton were joined by David Randall and Adam Wheatley playing in their first-ever tournament. With four players giving three pairs of games, the tournament was able to be played in one day.

Round 1:
Derek Buxton (18) beat David Randall (20) +10t
