In their latest match Richmond D again faced higher graded opponents in the shape of Ealing B, this time going down to a narrow but honourable defeat.
| Richmond D | Ealing B | ||
| 1 | Alex Shard 142 | ½:½ | Christopher Yapp 127 |
| 2 | Dan Donohoe 109 | ½:½ | Anthony Braine 125 |
| 3 | Barry Sutton 109 | 0:1 | Carlo Paglialunga 125 |
| 4 | Richard Sleep – | 1:0 | Martin Loat 121 |
| 5 | George Dokic 87 | ½:½ | Trevor Bates 119 |
| 6 | Ken Broadley 51 | 0:1 | Geoff Richards 83 |
| 2½:3½ |
Another win for Richard, who, I can’t help thinking, really should be playing on Board 2. Dan and George did really well to draw with stronger opposition, and there was also a solid draw for Alex.
