Match Report

Author:  Ben Wilkinson

Date:  17 Jan 2017

For once, the scoreline was a fair reflection of the match. The only real resistance was from Ben Sturt on board one, who an exchange down offered some stubborn defence. David, however, proved too strong, and once the barriers came down, the end came about very quickly.

In the other matches, Barry was in an even position until his opponent blundered his queen, and then there was only ever going to be one result.

On board three, Phil outgrading his opponent by 40 grading points, made no mistakes, and quickly added the second win.

On board two, Ben managed to win through with a strong kingside attack, and secure the point.

Although this was a bit of a thrashing, you can be sure that these boys will soon exact revenge, as the likes of Vignesh Ramesh and John Fraser also had similar results when starting out for the Grammar School, and we now meet them in division one!
