March is a busy month for matches - 10 matches in total.
The A team have played two matches. The first was the final of the NECL Plate competition against Maldon B, the final result was a 2-2 draw with draws on all four boards. A replay will take place in April. The 2nd match was a 3-1 win against Baddow B; with two league matches left the A team will win the league if they win their remaining matches.

The B team also played Baddow B, winning by a larger margin than the A team. The win moves them upto 5th in the table - but having played fewer games than other teams they are one of the only four teams who could win the league (along with the A team).

The D team have played three matches so far this month. The first two were on consecutive evenings, with the 2nd on the same evening as matches for the A and B teams - three matches in one evening. The D team drew with Brentwood C, lost narrowly to Braintree C and beat Clacton C. These results mean the D team are still in contention for the Division 3 title - but the league is very close and five other teams (including the C team) could also still win the division.

Last year Colchester players did very well in the NECL - Eldar Lachninov was the NECL player of the year, with Mike Wagstaff in 2nd and Pete Smith in 5th. Also scoring over 60% having played more than 6 games were Nathan Barnes, Phil Daley, Clive Bellinger and Brian Remmer.
This year there are still a lot of games to play but Colchester players are again doing well. Currently the top three are all Colchester players - with Simon Denney, Clive Bellinger and Peter Harris (representing CRGS) also scoring over 60% having played more than 6 games.
