Both teams had near to their top line-ups with the 2 captains on their preferred Board 4. A close contest might have been expected, but it was anything but with one-sided wins for the visitors on Boards 1,3 and 4. Dave Williams avenged an earlier season defeat to Jerry, Bob lost a pawn to Alex who then dominated their game. I misplayed a new opening line which Andy knew much better than me. He built up a strong mating attack to my King on h1. David got us on the score sheet and Alan won a tight encounter to reduce the deficit

( 3 defeats in our last 4 games have severely dented A2's promotion hopes.)
