Captain Ben’s notes:-
The D team got off to a rocky start to the season with a bit of a walk over from the Ou. Things seemed to be looking up when their board one didn’t show up at the start of the match, but when he did, Alex didn’t last very long. John, in his own words “did badly in the opening, flourished in the middle game and lost the end game.” Neil lasted the longest but also fell, and Tony put up a valiant fight in his debut Bedfordshire league game, going a queen down but winning back a few pieces for it, but was worn down in the end. I managed to get half a point out of a game which got to the end game by move 15, but overall, it can only go up from here!
