This was an away match with a difference - two Staffordshire teams were playing against two Warwickshire teams:
The Bulldogs were playing at one end of the room while our Open team were playing at the other end.
Mince pies etc were available to make all the players welcome.
Due to a mix up, David Buckley found himself with 13 players arriving for the 12 board match against Warwickshire.
After a quick discussion (and an apology), it was agreed that the lowest graded player would play a game against a player keen to be part of the Warwickshire team.
In that extra game, Matthew Greenwood confirmed he has been having a good season.
Well done Matthew!
The result of that game will be sent for grading but does not count towards the team's score.
The two teams were level early on:
One player lost, two players drew then Peter Evans won.
The next three games all went to Warwick, giving them a 5-2 advantage.
The remaining 4 games were close, but the team ended with a 7-5 loss.
Well played to all the players - especiallly young Ravi Patel, who had a very good game.
One notable absentee was Paul Walters.
He wanted to play but yesterday was his 40th birthday, and his family wanted to celebrate it properly.
Happy birthday Paul!
David has now been running this successful team for several years.
Matches are played on Saturday afternoons, with no adjournments.
