| Foley A 3½ v Foley B ½ Div 3 6/10/03. |
| Grade. | Foley A. | Foley B. | Grade. | |
| 127 | P Sargeant. | 1-0 | R Tunstall. | 87 |
| 104 | G Yates | 1-0 | P Tideswell. | 81 |

| U | C Mustafa | ½-½ | M Wilton. | 51 |
| The customary A v B fixture kicked off the league campaign . Last season the honours went to the B-side so the A-side were out for revenge. Despite all the pre match banter i always find these matches a very tense affair.The match on board 1 went as expected, but the games on boards 2 and 3 were both tight affairs with the two A team players eventually coming out on top. The only consolation for the B team was a draw on the bottom board between Carl playing for the A side and Mark. At least we got the seeds right this season. |
| Stafford B 1½ v Foley A 2½ Div 3 15/10/03. |
| Grade. | Stafford B. | Foley A. | Grade. | |
| 100 | J Tuckley. | 1-0 | P Sargeant. | 127 |
| 91 | R Gogerty | 0-1 | G Yates. | 104 |
| 89 | P Evans | 0-1 | J Amison. | U |
| 91 | D Nesbit | ½-½ | C Mustafa. | 51 |
| An excellent win for the A-side against potentially one of the favourites to win the division. Good wins for Geoff and John on boards 2 and 3 but special mention must go to Carl for getting a draw on board 4 in what was only his third competitive match. |
| Foley A 3 v Newcastle D 1. Div 3 17/11/03. |
| Grade. | Foley A. | Newcastle D. | Grade. | |
| 127 | P Sargeant | 1-0 | B Werner. | |
| 104 | G Yates | 1-0 | M Gawley. | |
| U | J Amison | 1-0 | C Gawley. | |
| U | C Mustafa | 0-1 | O Huxley. |
| The A side made it three wins from three with this victory. It was a tense affair with Geoff and John winning on boards 2 and 3 but it was up to P Sargeant who kept his nerve in a tense endgame to ensure maximum points were gained and send the A team joint top of the table. |
| Foley A 2½ v Creda 1½ . Div 3 24/11/03. |
| Grade. | Foley A. | Creda. | Grade. | |
| 127 | P Sargeant | 1-0 | E Burke. | |
| 104 | G Yates | ½-½ | D Hackney. | |
| U | J Amison | 0-1 | P Tullet. | U |
| 87 | R Tunstall | 1-0 | J Newton. |
| The A sides fourth match saw them overcome a potentially tricky game against Creda C! Wins for P Sargeant on board 1 and R Tunstall playing up from the B side saw us safely home. The only down side was John losing his first game for foley on board 3. . |
| Foley A3½ v Kidsgrove A ½ . Div 3 15/12/03. |
| Grade. | Foley A. | Kidsgrove A. | Grade. | |

| U | J Amison | ½-½ | N Hearson. | U |
| 87 | R Tunstall | 1-0 | J Gater. |
| The A team win again, with wins on boards 1,2 and 4 and a very close game on 3 finally ending in a draw. . |
| Foley A 2½ v Stafford B 1½ . Div 3 5/01/04. |
| Grade. | Foley A. | Stafford B. | Grade. | |
| 104 | G Yates | ½-½ | K Wozniak. | |

| 87 | R Tunstall | ½-½ | G De Visme. | |
| 62 | R Hammersley | 1-0 | P Evans. | 89 |
| Tense? Tense? oh it was tense! I was hoping to get television cameras in for this top of the table clash, there would have been millions watching! A very tense (did i mention it was tense?) match saw John and Richard draw on boards 2 and 3 and with Roy winning on bottom board it was all down to Captain Geoff to draw and clinch victory to put us clear at the top of our division. |
| Foley A 4 v Blind 0 . Div 3 14/01/04. |
| Grade. | Foley A. | Blind. | Grade. |
| I dont think we will get any easier games than this one this season, as 3 of the blinds regulars were unavailable. Board 2 was defaulted so Geoff didnt have to lift a finger (or pawn) all evening and boards 3 and 4 were won very quickly. N Potts stood in for J Amison who was unavailable. . |
| Kidsgrove B 2½ v Foley A 1½ . Div 3 4/02/04. |
| Grade | Foley A. | Stafford B. | Grade. | |
| S Elliot | ½-½ | P Sargeant. | 127 | |
| S Burndred | 1-0 | G Yates. | 104 | |
| J Cook | 0-1 | J Amison. | U | |
| M Burndred | 1-0 | R Tunstall | 89 |
| A first defeat for the 'A' team saw the promotion bandwagon come slightly off the rails. After defeat on boards 2 and 4, it was up to P Sargeant on top board to try and salvage something from the game. However he was unable to force the win needed and Kidsgrove B go top, leading by one point although we still have a game in hand. With the other promotion contenders Stafford having to travel to Kidsgrove and then Kidsgrove having to play again there is still everything to play for. |
| Newcastle D ½ v Foley A 3½ . Div 3 11/02/04. |
| Grade | Newcastle D. | Foley A. | Grade. | |
| N Wright | 0-1 | P Sargeant. | 127 | |
| M Gawley | ½-½ | G Yates. | 104 | |
| J Rothwell | 0-1 | J Amison. | U | |
| B Swyneton | 0-1 | P Tideswell | 81 |
| A comfortable win for the A team, keeps them in contention for the top spot. Wins on boards 1, 2, and 4 and a draw on board 2 saw us safely home with Kidsgrove beating Stafford on the same evening there is still everything to play for. |
| Creda 1 v Foley A 3 . Div 3 16/02/04. |
