This match was a fine effort by our third team against the 2nd team of one of the leading clubs in the County.
On board 1 Steve Merchant came very close to winning his game against an opponent rated 160 points higher, but eventually he was forced to resign.
On board 2 I played an opponent out rating me by 220 points. Our game was a long tight game and eventually a draw was agreed.
On board 3 Lawry giving away 180 points competed well but the game got away from him and he eventually resigned.
On board 4 our very promising junior Luke played a fine game and looked to have an edge but his opponent managed to engineer a 3 fold repetition for a draw.
