The 2008 Old Puller Cup team competition was held at St.Albans Chess Club on Sunday 1^st June. There was a slight decrease in players this year but it was good to see a team from Watford taking part. In total 10 clubs and 41 players took part, although Hemel, Hertford & Welwyn could not raise a full team. The format remained the same as last year in that the top four scoring players from a club contributed to the final result in 3 sections. The sections being open, under 150 and under 125.

The top section was won by top seeds Royston who retain the trophy for a second year. Letchworth & Hitchin were the only challengers finishing second.

The under 150 section was won by a large margin by Letchworth & Hitchin.

The under 125 section was also won by Lower Red Lion.
