Despite good wins for Ian and Neil on boards 1 and 3 respectively, Ashby 5 went down by 4-2 against Anstey 5 last night. Neil's was a particularly good win as he was outrated by 200 points, following on his win last week against an opponent rated 330 points higher. He's on a roll !! Dan Vernon's winning start for the team came to a halt as he was beaten on board 5.
Ashby 1 were due to be at home against Loughborough 2 last night but, apparently, this match did not take place. At the time of writing I have no idea of the reason. However, if Loughborough defaulted then we have won Division 2 with a couple of matches to spare.
