The D team played their first match of the season against Darnall & Handsworth, and as with the B team, scored a fantastic 1.5 – 4.5 win. The team secured four wins, one draw, and one loss in another even match-up. Unfortunately the winning momentum couldn’t be maintained, with the D team recording a 2.5 – 3.5 loss at home to Sheffield Deaf a week later. Playing under noisy conditions due to an unexpected leak in the usual playing room, the D team managed two wins, one draw, and three losses.
