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.
