As difficult as it may be, please note that Bedfordshire is referred to as ‘plucky’. The choice of word is based on results, this being our best so far apparently. Bedfordshire was in the process of putting itself on the map still, having only joined the S.C.C.U 4 years previously, and still continuing to attract some of the best players in the world to the county for simuls and talks. You would have thought if strength and depth had beeen there, it would have been reflected in county results, which is not the case as yet, mainly because a league north/south divide remained in operation until 1952. This means that the team chosen at county level was predominantly a south Bedfordshire team, as that is where the power lay.
