A visit to Uxbridge, the north western outpost of the Thames Valley League saw an exciting match resulting in the points being shared. This was a potential relegation match, and, while our opponents were almost at full strength, we fielded a weakened team.
Here’s what happened.
Uxbridge | Richmond B | ||
1 | Peter Walters 166 | 1:0 | Seb Galer 176 |
2 | Colin Hughes 153 | 1:0 | Sampson Low 155 |
3 | Michael Price 145 | ½:½ | Adrian Waldock 146 |
4 | Peter Lord 145 | 0:1 | Maks Gajowniczek 139 |
5 | David Knight 140 | 0:1 | Paul Evans – |
6 | Daniel Knight 138 | 0:1 | Lewis Low 94 |
7 | John Woolley 126 | 1:0 | Rob Hunter – |
3½:3½ |
What fantastic results from Paul and Lewis in defeating the Two (much higher graded) Knights! A great win also for Maks against a creative and dangerous opponent, and a customary solid draw from Adrian.
It was good to see Seb in action for us again. I hope he’ll be able to make some A team matches: we really need players of his strength.
