Sax B had a disappointing 2-2 draw with Ipswich C on Tuesday, despite the visitors only arriving with three players, thus gifting us a default on top board. Sadly, we couldn’t capitalise on that, with Lee and then Dominic getting no traction in their games and having to settle for draws. This left Matthew pressing hard, but at the eleventh hour he fell for a trick that lost a Rook, and had to resign on the spot.
The result leaves us in second place in the table, two points behind Bury C but with a game in hand. So it’s shaping up for a tight finish to the season.
