I proposed a new trophy for both the Berkshire League and the Surrey Border League which was for the highest placed amateur team in the top division.
That might need careful definition. There are a few players who have taken part in both of those leagues who are clearly chess professionals, in as much as they derive an income from chess-related activities on which they will be liable to pay income tax, but probably weren't paid for playing in the league.

"Draw?"
Much to my surprise, he castled opposite sides and launched a kingside pawn-storm! I launched a queenside pawn storm, but his was a bit better. C'est la vie. Uselful analysis afterwards as well.

Other Streatham and Brixton adventures since the component clubs emerged in the 1870s/80s are recounted in the just published 'Movers and Takers' which chronicles its 150-year history. PM me for a copy (£12.50 + £2.50 p&p).
