Wylie Cup

The first match was played on July 19th at the new club premises, the Wigston Liberal Club. Everything went well, including the result - Wigston beating Braunstone 5 -3. We were made welcome and the playing conditions were very good. A lot of time has gone into sorting the equipment out, and the sets are much better to play with now. Thanks Barrie and Phil.
For the record, the match result was:

    Wigston      Result Braunstone Result
1 B Martin Burrows 0.5 John Robinson 0.5
1 W Martin Burrows 0.5 John Robinson 0.5
2 W Alan Byron      0  Mike Salisbury 1
2 B Alan Byron      1  Mike Salisbury 0
3 B Alan Edwards   0.5 Jim Bingham   0.5
3 W Alan Edwards    1  Jim Bingham    0
4 W Walter Dehnen   1  Paul Colburn   0
4 B Walter Dehnen  0.5 Paul Colburn  0.5
----------------------------------------
TOTAL               5                 3

This win gives us 4 wins from 4 matches, although we had a scare in the first leg, which we should undoubtedly have lost 1 - 3 - until Walter's opponent lost an ending in which he was Q + N v Q.
