Mike Spencer Reports on the Tom Fuller Cup

The B&B team in the Tom Fuller came top of their league in the Metropolitan division, and were then paired with Weald of Kent in the semi-final on Thursday 21st April.

Unfortunately we were knocked out with one win and a draw against two wins and a draw, in a match where the final deciding game was played right up to the last minute, ending in a drawn game and a lost match. A win on that board would have been a draw on both game points and board count, but a win to us on board 4 elimination, so it was quite an intense final game.

Arbiter was Derek Davis of Chislehurst club to whom we express our thanks.

Team members throughout the season were Justin Brown, Alan Fraser, James Kinsella, Jason Kevan, Richard Putman, Laurie Roberts,Raunak Rao and Mike Spencer.
