Roger Waddingham reports on the Horsham 5 vs Uckfield 2 match from last Tuesday:
It's in the balance. A stirling win by our 'secret weapon', Matthew, who showed good endgame skill in a balanced encounter. Two other losses and a draw from Mark Baldock that was oh so close to being a win. Finally, board 1 has been adjourned, with some hope of claiminmg a win according to Richard Barrowclough. This would gain us a hard won, and much needed, half point.
UPDATE: A draw was agreed on board one, leaving the result 3-2 in Uckfield 2's favour.
