A case of deja vue. In the County Cup Beckenham again lost on board count after a 3-3 result. Details:
1 213 Ian Snape ½-½ Martin Taylor 219
2 188 John Duggan ½-½ Cliff Chandler 204
3 185 Michael Prizant ½-½ Andrew Mayhew 215
4 184 Rohan Shiatis 0-1 Paul Talsma 189
5 183 Nick Briggs ½-½ Ian Watson 193
6 175 Richard Selway 1-0 David Mumford 186
A valiant effort, given we were outgraded by an average of 13 points a board. However, very frustrating to lose on board count for the second year running.
In the Lewis Cup, Beckenham lost 4-2 but, again, it could have been different.
Thankfully, Beckenham won the Tom Fuller Cup 2½-1½.
