It's Kings away against Stafford A in the Stoke League. Lacking Ian and John, we are outgraded everywhere, and it looks as though we are going to get stuffed.

However, the Blackburns turn in a sterling performance on boards 4 & 5, getting 1.5/2. This sets the match up for an exciting finish!
The match comes down to the last game, in which Mike Hancock on Board 2 is outgraded by about 30 points. If he wins, the match is drawn! Mike pressed strongly, having winning chances, but in the end had to accept a draw with seconds left on both clocks. So we lost 3.5 - 2.5. So close.
