Played tonight:
1 Horspool, Phil 180 Drawn 181 Edwards, Alan
2 Morley, Andy 173 Drawn 170 Graf, Roland
3 Watkinson, Phil 161 0-1 164 Burgess, Ray
4 Dodds, Iain 154 Drawn 162 Collins, RF (Bob)
5 Smith, Stephen 146 0-1 155 Tate, Mick
calculated score: ----1.5 - 3.5 ------------------
The second team were always going to struggle against the second best team in the Division. Phil and Andy did well to draw their respective games; I didn't put up much resistance against Ray Burgess. Iain never had anything more than a draw, and Stephen, on the bottom board, was struggling with a poor position and very short of time, and blundered a piece.
Overall, we lost 1.5 against 3.5 and probably this reflected the relative strengths of the teams.
Next match is in a fortnight's time, the return fixture at Scraptoft Valley.
Regards,
Phil.
