Cheddleton and Leek

A, B and C teams     D and E teams     F, G, H teams
Cheddleton and Leek Chess Club, though everyone calls them Cheddleton or even Chedd, meet on Fridays at Norbury House (Leek United BS) in Strangman Street, Leek. The venue has its own carpark, and matches may be played either in the clubroom in Norbury House or in a small hall close to the entrance of the carpark. Being close to the center of Leek, there are planty of local hostelries for post match drowning of sorrows.

The first thing that any new player to the league learns is that any win against Cheddleton is a good win. Indeed, I suspect that thay are the original composers to the words of the ditty now known as the Millwall football song.

Juniors is many peoples first reaction to the name Cheddleton, and it is true that the club has more than its share of type IV brats; but even without these the club would still be the largest in the area.

The club is not merely large, it is also successful in playing terms, and tends to dominate the associations competitions. The A team always seems able to survive the occasional loss through its sheer consistency over a season.

For season 2005/2006 the club are entering 8 teams in the main league plus one in the rapidplay league. Three of their longplay teams appear under the Cheddleton banner, two in division one, one in division two; the other five under the Leek banner, one in division two the others in division 3.
