‘Playing for Kingston put me off smoking for life’
I played 45 games altogether for Kingston in various competitions in the period 1967-73. There were also many games in internal events such as the club championship, which I won in 1969 and 1970. After I went to Oxford in 1970 my appearances became less frequent since I could only play in the university vacations, and soon international appearances started to occupy even those.
Magical Maycock wins Easter Blitz with perfect score
As the league season becomes a little less full on, we can start to turn our attention to internal club activities such as the blitz run on bank holiday Monday. Organised by Julian Way, John Foley and David Bickerstaff, this was an enjoyable 26-player event won by David Maycock with 6/6, closely pursued by Vladimir Li and Zain Patel with 5/6.

CSC/Kingston 1 feast on Sharks in historic win
CSC/KIngston’s first team record a remarkable victory over the formidable Sharks 1 and the second team win both their matches to give themselves a shot at promotion on a riveting fourth weekend at 4NCL.
Kingston 2 ease past local rivals Surbiton 1
Surbiton 1 brought a surprisingly weak team to the Willoughby for this Surrey division 2 match against Kingston 2, and were duly despatched 6-1. Both teams are safe in this division, so perhaps their attention was elsewhere.
Kingston 4 end season with win against Chessington
Kingston 4 concluded their Surrey division 5 campaign with an emphatic 5-1 win over bottom-of-the-table Chessington 2 to end with four wins and three losses during the season. That meant Ed Mospan’s team finished in a comfortable mid-table position.
