Sheffield Sub-Site

 

This was contested between eight teams, in two regional sections, “West” and “East”, with a play-off between section winners, to determine the overall winner.  The previous season’s seven teams had been joined by the new team, Goole.  (It was reported at the YCA Annual Meeting on 28/04/1934 that Goole Chess Club had been admitted into membership of the Yorkshire Chess Association, so consideration of applications for membership must have been by the committee rather than the Annual Meeting.)

 

There were five teams still in the “West” section, each playing each other twice, home and away.

In the play-off between section winners, to determine the winner of the Woodhouse Cup, Sheffield beat Hull by 7½ to 2½.  The match took place in a room made available at Goole Library, and the Mayor of Goole, Alderman Ernest Johnson, entertained the players and officials to tea.

 

Detailed match results were as follows.  Colours were rarely indicated in results (though inferable from reported games), and of course alternated down the board order of each team.  On the right is a list of players, in alphabetical order of surname.
