                   1.5  -    4.5

As Alex was unable to play in this match Sarah captained the team and I've been asked to do a brief report.

As we had a number of players missing we were outgraded on the bottom four boards for this match and the final score reflected this.

Tony and Neil both lost material and found themselves in impossible situations. From what I saw of Barries game it was very dramatic as Mr Cook launched an interesting sacrificial attack which ultimately broke through.

At 3-0 down it was virtually all over but for a brief moment after I won when Mick (Connor) found himself in an untenable Rook ending I thought we might still have some chances of halving the match as Sarah was in fascinating middle game where all three results were possible and David had miraculously turned his position against Tim  (Hilton) around from what seemed to be the abyss.

Ultimately it was not to be as Sarah's game ended in a repetition of moves and David was defeated by his greatest adversary ie the clock..........

Many thanks to all who played particularly Barry for playing at short notice and Neil who still turned up despite being ill.As always I would be interested to see any game scores whether annotated or not.

Glenn.
