A Disaster!

Oh dear!

There we were, two points ahead of South Bristol, with an opportunity to move ourselves into the Elysian Fields of mid table security, and what did we do?

We messed it up!

Things started well enough. Firstly Aron won. I'm much more used to writing that.

Then Dave comfortably drew, followed by our new "official" star, Jack, with a well fought game against a strong opponent, and an untroubled draw as well from James.

That left Keith and the Duffer to bring home the result.

Whoops!

We dropped the ball.

Keith, who's losses are about as rare as Aron's and Haley's Comet, unfortunately went wrong this time, and then the Duffer failed to recover from playing two moves in the wrong order, and lost as well.

So, we are back in some sort of jeopardy with the division's high flyers, University A, ahead of us next week.
