We matched the champions on the top 3 boards- a fine win by Steve on top board, a narrow loss for Derek, and Andy drew against Nigel Birtwhistle. Grantham's strength in depth prevailed on Boards 4 and 5.

 Grantham with 7 players above 180 ECF grading look well up to winning their seventh successive League title. In 2009-10 they broke University's hold on the title of the previous 3 years.(University's  Division 1 status appears precarious) Result 1.5- 3-5
