This is a slight paraphrase of what Steve dictated into my iPhone after the match!
The club did exceptionally well tonight - winning 2½ - 1½ - and we should have won 3½ - ½ ! David's game in particular was fantastic, and everyone should play through it on the website.
Congratulations to Ben: he held his nerve at the end. After offering a draw under a bit of time pressure, he pulled out a thoroughly deserved victory in the end game. So much for Ben not wanting to play in Division 1!
Phil's game was level, and he (perhaps wisely) accepted his opponent's offer of a draw after assessing the state of play on the other three boards.
I got away with my result. I was under the cosh but Trefor over-played his hand and let me get away with it. I was fortunate - but it was a good game nevertheless.
Overall, a great result for the club - Played 1, Won 1. We can all hold our heads up high.
