Westcliff win on bottom board elimination. (Board Count 5-5) A close run thing this one. Westscliff trailing with one game to play, but Derek Davis graciously resigned when he realised he could not stop Tony's pawn promoting. It was a pleasure to host this match against a fine team from Chislehurst. The games were played in just the right spirit - competitive, but friendly. Well done to all those who played.
