It was an exciting evening of chess and a closely fought match. There was fighting chess all the way with only 4 drawn matches out of the 28 games. The overall result swung one way then the other and with 5 individual games remaining the match was nicely poised at 11.5-11.5. Bournemouth finally secured the match with the last game to finish when Southbourne's experienced veteran, Terry Walsh, finally defeated David Lockwood in an exciting time scramble.
