At first glance, this looks an easy win for South Hams, but things could have turned out differently.
Although we took an early lead with a win for Ben Wilkinson on board one, the three other boards were finely balanced.
James Fowler took the better half point in his draw against Richard Ballantyne being short on time, and playing a very tricky rook and pawn endgame.
In the end, Torquay imploded, with Simon Howard failing to hold a fairly level position, and Tom Maloney picking up the wrong piece, and giving Cliff a far easier victory than the position warranted.
The end result however, puts South Hams at the top of Division 3.
