A Team

Richard Ward 0 ½   Square Bashers 15  
Jan Suto 0 ½   BCCA ‘A’ 11 ½  
Duncan Chambers 0  0   SCCA  10 ½  
Antony Sutton 1  1   Civil Service 10  
Neil Limbert ½ ½   Revenue & Customs 9  
Phill Beckett 0  0   Old Bradfordians 8 ½  
Andy Mort 0  0   HSBC 7  
Dave Grobler ½  0   BCCA ‘B’  6 ½  
Geoff Frost 0  ½   MENSA 6 (board count 29)
    Sheffield  6 (board count 31)

Despite having a team boasting 2 IM’s we were unable to avoid relegation (on board count), the fates were with us and the B team gained promotion! The difference between success and failure is thin, we had one adjudication which could easily have gone our way and then we would have avoided relegation

B Team

Antony Sutton 1  1   Social Chess 12
Neil Limbert ½ 1   Sheffield 12
Phill Beckett     0  1   Civil Service ‘B’ 9 ½
Dave Grobler ½ ½   Warrington 9
Martin Howard 1  1   Hastings  8 ½
Jonathan Beckett ½ 1   Eight of Herts 8 ½
Dave Glossop 1 1   Civil Service ‘C’ 6
Joe Primrose   ½ ½   MENSA  5
    Insurance  3

Well a much more solid performance despite me scoring the only loss. Just missing out again on board count!
