This match ,a dead rubber to Southbourne but vital to Highcliffe was played in a great spirit. Southbourne did Bournemouth proud they could not have fought harder. We outgraded Southbourne significantly on boards 1,2 and 3 , board 4 Isaac is proving a very capable new member. By 9 o'clock it was 1-1 with myself struggling for equality with Mike, and Ken in a battle with Brian. We needed a win and a draw to secure the title. Myself and Mike both punch drunk and weary playing on increments agreed a draw when the position repeated itself. It doesn't tell the full story as Mike played really well probably deserving to win. So 1.5-1.5 ,all down to Ken . As has happened many times this year Ken found a way to win. So in typical B &DCL style the league was won on the last board in the last match on final day late into the night. Thank you to Bournemouth A for their sportsmanship and determination bringing out the best in us. Best wishes to all RU

Congratulations to Highcliffe winning an exciting match, both teams weakened by absentees. Well done Ken for taking full advantage of a positional error.
