Some memories

23/08/2025

👏 A big congratulations to Fish Hoek A for finishing in 2nd place and securing promotion to the D Division next year! 🏆🎉 Only the top 3 teams go up, and our players fought hard to earn that spot.

💪 Well done to Fish Hoek B who finished 5th – a strong performance that shows our depth and consistency as a club.

🌱 And to Fish Hoek C, this was your first season together as a young team – every round was experience gained, and that in itself is a victory. The future looks bright with our juniors stepping up!

As the Fish Hoek Chess Club, we are proud of all three teams. This season showed growth, unity, and determination – and we’re looking forward to even greater achievements ahead.
