A close match, Akin had a tussle on top board but just lost in the end, Dave played great on board 4 but just overlooked a complicated position and ended up losing his Queen and so eventually lost. John played well on board 5 and was a pawn up most of the match but his opponent managed to pinch a piece for the pawn and won in the end game. Derek had a great game and was on top but in the end he could not break through and the game was agreed a draw. My match was close with me playing the Kings gambit and he actually accepted it. The opening left me a pawn down and my King in the middle of the board, but he could not attack my position and after I exchanged Queens I pressured his King and he had to give a rook for my knight then a knight for nothing and after swapping off his last rook he resigned. Not a bad result considering 4 of their grades were estimated.

A close match the A team had strength on the top 3 boards, Kyle beat Ian Mitchell and Dave was a bit too strong for James, Derek and Steve had a tussle on board 3 and ended up calling it a draw after both short on time. My game v Lucas was very close he managed to get a pawn up in the opening, but gifted me piece some moves later. But mis calculated in the end game swapping his rook for my bishop thinking he could queen a pawn, I just managed to get my queen round to save it and he resigned. Vic was thrown into the match with 5 mins notice and managed to get on top of Mike with a fabulous King side attack and so Mike resigned. A draw a good result for the B team, the A team are currently top of the league.

A good result. John had a won position only to get his King and Rook forked and eventually lost. Shaun and Josh both had good wins, they are really coming on. Malachy was unlucky on board 4.

Kyle finished second, he slowly took the space from his opponent and then started to put pressure on the King, A series of "checks" would then have resulted in his opponent losing his Queen so his opponent resigned.
Steve played a good steady game and increasingly outplayed his opponent to secure a great win, this put the team on 2.5 points with just a draw required from the final 2 games.
Thisumi was a piece up but very low on time, she just managed to make the 35 moves in the allotted time in order to gain the additional minutes allowed. This time was put to good use and the pressure finally told on her opponent who made a blunder in the end game. Well played
The final game was a ferocious battle which went right to the wire, Dave was the exchange and a pawn up (or 2?) and was pushing pawns in order to promote them. His opponent was making him work for the win but eventually playing on the increments took its toll and his opponent ran out of time.

This was quite an easy win, my game was over in 10 mins my opponent gave me a queen for a knight at move 6 and then gave me bishop and knight before he resigned. Dave on top board finished next after also being gifted a queen for a minor piece. John Crompton was next to finish again being a queen up and mated his opponent. Next was Steve Flaherty playing perhaps their strongest player, It was an even ending and a draw was agreed

John and John both had relatively easy games against juniors and ended up winning quickly. I was a pawn down in my game but had a great attack in the end game which ended up with him resigning after losing his queen in a knight fork. On top board Tony had a great game against Kyle but in the end Kyle was just too strong for him so he was forced to resign, good win for the team 3 - 1.

I was the exchange down early on but managed to get a piece and a pawn in the middle game and then my attack was too strong for him he couldn't stop my passed pawn. Kyle had a quick win on top board, whilst Steve played out a stodgey draw and Con got into trouble in his match losing in the end game. So the score stood at 2.5 to 1.5 with Dave on top in his game being the exchange up and his opponent blundered in the end game giving us the win 3.5 to 1.5.
