A3 did it the hard way in this relegation dog-fight. Board 3 (not Alan this time) arrived late after a trip to the wrong venue. The team recovered from this with wins for Neil , Alan and Nigel. Trevor was also set for a decisive win until he slipped into a parallel universe where games are played without clocks, For a sequence of 7 moves he failed to press his clock. As his time ran down and with less than 5 minutes on his clock he was still studiously recording his moves*. His opponent at 1 point sportingly reminded him of his omission. With little time left to win his position , Trevor agreed a draw. 0.5 game points are transferred to the home team for the game default, making the final score a 2-3 win for Ashfield.
