Match Report

Author:  Ben Wilkinson

Date:  11 Jan 2014

in a fixture that South Hams have not won since …… well, for a long time!, once again, even after reverting to slightly underhand tactics, and tinkering with the board order, there was still no luck.

The first result in saw Phil McConnell succumb to a strong Tony Tatam attack on board 4.

Roy Greenhalgh was unable to convert a promising position against Rob on board 1, and South Hams slipped to 0-2.

The fight back was started by Ben Wilkinson with a board 2 victory, which left Cliff Peach the chance to salvage the draw in his game against John Dean.

A pawn up, and things looked promising, unfortunately accurate defence, and Cliff's ever present time trouble meant that a draw was all that he could manage, leaving the final result Plymouth 2.5 - South Hams 1.5.
