Mc Arthur Cup Retained!

Luke Rutherford was the first to finish when he prevailed in a King's Indian Samisch Variation.
Next Brian Izzard in a Catalan Opening went down fighting.
Nadezda Somova agreed a draw with Bob Elliston.Their opening had been a Pirc Pribyl System.
My game had also been a King's Indian Samisch Variation and on Board Three i was able to prevail with the White Pieces against the strong Kent Player Chris Howell.
Geoffrey James won as black against Fancis Rayner.This must have come as a great relief to Geoff after a difficult season.This win meant we had crossed the finish line.
Now we all waited and watched for Adrian Pickersgill's game to finish.Unfortunately he was unable to defend the ending.
We had won by Three wins to Two with one drawn game.
Hastings & St Leonards Chess Club were our opponents in this Mc Arthur Cup Final.
As a footnote i hear from Brian Denman this could in fact be the last Mc Arthur Cup Final if the Association is unable to find suitable replacements for the out going Officers.
