  Result 3 - 3 Played 2 Feb
Match reported by Stephen Mellor and John Knee. Board 1 saw an early queen exchange and Davis emerged with B+N against R+P. In the quickplay endgame the rooks' counter attack came too late and Davis won. Geoff Marchant quickly gained the exchange on board 2 and finished early to put Malvern in the lead. Fine defence by Mellor against his opponent's attack left him ahead on material and a won game at the end. Keene sacrificed a piece for three pawns but counterplay from Clarke's queen secured a draw. On Board 5 was an early draw after the centre became blocked. A slow opening on Board 6 led to a position where both players had attacking chances, but Smith won a piece after his opponent made a mistake.

  Result 3 - 3 Played 15 Feb
Match reported by David Waud and John Knee. Although Davis got a Q-side initiative on board 1,exchanges soon produced an equal position and a draw. Facing an unusual opening line, Clarke got king-side pressure. Watson defended carefully and a slip in time-trouble gave Watson a decisive counter-attack. Board 3 reached an ending with rooks and opposite-coloured bishops, but a mistake led to forced mate and win for Turner. After an even game on board 4 players decided the heavy piece ending was easily defensible and agreed a draw. Knee faced an unusual couter-attacking defence and players agreed the draw when Varilone's isolated pawn was seen to insufficient handicap to give White hope of a win. On board 6, the centre became blocked and there was no clear way to make progress.

  Result 2½ - 2½ Played 26 Sep
Match reported by Ray Collett. It looked at first as if the visiting team would go away with the first Division 2 win of the season, but dogged defence and peristent play got Droitwich a draw and their first points on the table. Kidderminster were the first to score, on board 3. At this stage, Collett had landed himself a very passive position, John Whitehead was pressing hard with an advanced pawn, and other games looked even. Preece misjudged exchanges into the ending and found a completely equal position and offered the draw. Kirkland, seemingly tied up survived and Cleak entered a rook and pawn ending a pawn up. There were faint drawing chances especially after Cleak's king retreated from his dominating position, but Pountney allowed his opponents king to get to the queensite and capture pawns allowing Cleak to notch up a deserved victory. Droitwich board 2 player's surname corrected 28 Sep.

  Result 2½ - 2½ Played 24 Oct
Match reported by Ray Collett: Droitwich went into this match a man down and expecting to lose to the Division 2 leaders, but Halesowen also lacked their best division 2 players. Board 1 was a feisty affair with both players thinking they had a winning middlegame position. Both kings were vulnerable to fierce attacks but Collett's knight pillaged the white position and later forked the king and rook. Kirkland was ahead at one stage but then slipped up. Young Silas Bowcott-Terry went the full distance with his experienced opponent, but was finally overwhelmed with pawns in the ending.
