Mike was settling down to what looked like being a tricky middle game when John offered the draw. John and Steve unsurprisingly drew. Jiri had a relatively comfortable win over an out of form David. Tom slowly edged his way to a better position before smashing through Jerry’s defence. Glenn missed a chance to swap off Pete’s f4 knight and this cost him as Pete played a lovely Nxh3 move which swiftly led to a win. This result keeps the 1st team’s slender title hopes alive and boosts our 2nd team’s chances of staying up.
