Match Result - Scraptoft Valley 1 v Wigston 3

The Wigston 3 team played against the strongest team in Division 2 last night:

1     Edwards, Alan 181  1-0  134 Dodds, Iain
2 Burgess, Ray 161 Drawn 130 Harlow, Phil
3 Pattinson, John 132 0-1 129 Smith, Stephen
4 Tate, Mick 131 1-0 112 Pike, Andrew
5 Collins, RF (Bob) 128 1-0 113 Cooper, Barrie
--------------------------------------------------
3.5 - 1.5

The match was closer than the score suggests; with very close games on Boards 1 and 4 that should have given us something. Phil Harlow continues his good form with a draw against Ray Burgess; but man of the match was Steve Smith, who outplayed his opponent, gaining the exchange and finishing the game off with an impressive attack against the king.

All in all, although a loss, still a good performance by the team.

Regards,
Phil.
