| SEASON 2009-2010 - FOUR KING FORKERS | |
| Players | Simon Court (Capt), Alan Evans, Barry Hampton, Mark Houghton, Paul Jackson. |
| Position | Premiership - 6th out of 8 |
| Comments | A very poor start saw them lose 3 of their first 4 games (drawing the other) and sit at the bottom of the table as one of the favourites to go down. However, a recovery win over Pawn Crackers in round 5 was followed by a shock draw against eventual champions The Gladiators. Despite a 4-0 defeat to Pawn Crackers in the final round, they stayed up by the narrowest possible of margins. They finished absolutely dead level with Real Betis and had drawn 2-2 with them in the 2nd round. However board count went in their favour and they stayed up. |
| SEASON 2008-2009 - FOUR KING FORKERS | |
| Players | Simon Court (Capt), Alan Evans, Barry Hampton, Mark Houghton, Paul Jackson. |
| Position | Premiership - 3rd out of 8 |
| Comments | They were in the running most of the way, but a crucial defeat in round 5 just left them that bit too far away from Good Knights to try and pounce in the last 2 rounds. A win in the final round with a Good Knights defeat could have given them the title but neither happened. |
| SEASON 2007-2008 - FOUR KING FORKERS | |
| Players | Mark Cluett, Simon Court (Capt), Alan Evans, Mark Houghton, Paul Jackson. |
| Position | Premiership - 3rd out of 8 |
| Comments | A well structured squad, they always had the potential to win it, so a 3rd place finish wasn't too bad. Their only defeats came against the 2 teams that finished ahead of them.. |
| SEASON 2006-2007 - FOUR BOARD FORKERS | |
| Players | Kevin Bailey, Mark Cluett, Simon Court (Capt), Alan Evans, Mark Houghton, John Kelly. |
| Position | 2 out of 12 |
| Comments | This was by far the best season so far for this team. They managed to win all 4 of their final 4 games to take 2nd place and their first prize zone finish. |
| SEASON 2005-2006 - MEET THE FORKERS | |
| Players | Lana Boztas, Mark Cluett, Simon Court (Capt), Mark Houghton, Christopher Rowe. |
| Position | 9 out of 14 |
| Comments | Not such a strong finish this season where results were inconsistent from start to finish. |
| SEASON 2004-2005 - GRAVESENDIANS | |
| Players | Lana Boztas, Mark Cluett, Simon Court (Capt), Mark Houghton. |
| Position | 6 out of 20 |
| Comments | The experience gained in the 1st season really benefitted the team as they dramatically improved their position, helped by new signing Lana Boztas who replaced Paul Sayers. Three wins in the last three rounds took them just outside the prize zone in only their 2nd season. |
| SEASON 2003-2004 - GRAVESENDIANS | |
| Players | Mark Cluett, Nicole Cooper, Simon Court, Mark Houghton, Paul Sayers. |
| Position | 15 out of 20 |
| Comments | Simon Court had a team of inexperienced chess players (he was the only one graded) at his office in Gravesend. So he brought them into our league and they managed to finish a respectable 15th. |
