John Fahy from Warley Quinborne tells me it was an exciting finish - going down to the last board and the last few seconds of the time control.
My thanks to Steve Wilcox from Rushall, and John Fahy, for sending me the details.

Match report by Paul Clapham:
Newcastle chess club welcomed Warley Quinborne for the quarter final of the Withnall Cup.
The match shared facilities at Newcastle Bridge Club with the Newcastle Mini-Congress organised by Martyn Harris, making for a warm, friendly atmosphere.
John Pakeman won the toss for Warley Quinborne who played white on the odd boards.
The match was tied at 2.5 to 2.5 with Warley Quinborne winning on board count.
All the best to John and his team in the semis.
