Any suggestions of impropriety in the result were negated by the League Organiser not only being invited to watch, but to play! The gamesmanship was beyond reproach, even if some of the performances were very questionable!!

Winchester 3 Lost to Winchester 2 in a close match.
With the away team having higher Gradings in 4 of the strings, Home advantage looked to be needed to take the win. The stats turned out to be correct, with a fine Away win.
On paper, the number 3 string should have been the closest, with only 30 ranking points separating the two players before the match.
The Away player, Mike Catling, did well therefore to secure the win.
It was the number 1 String which turned out to be the most competitive, with the Players battling out over a total of 100 Points ! Victory finally going to the Away Player, Gareth Hall.
Player of the tie was the Home No. 4 string, Archie Harris, gaining 100 Ranking Points from the match.
