Alton Academy 2 Beat Nuffield Health 3 in a close match.
With the away team having higher Gradings in 3 of the strings, Home advantage looked to be needed to take the win. Local knowledge duly defeated the statisticians and the home team came through for a good win.
On paper, the number 5 string should have been the closest, with only 32 ranking points separating the two players before the match.
Home advantage prevailed though, with George G Strydom winning through.
It was the number 1 String which turned out to be the most competitive, with the Players battling out over a total of 82 Points ! Victory finally going to the Home Player, Laurie Cufley.
Player of the tie was the Home No. 2 string, Dan D Free, gaining 100 Ranking Points from the match.
If the Home No. 3 player, Eddie S Stewart, had not had to withdraw after 2 game(s) the result could have been closer.
