Next to finish was board 4 where Bill Cook went a piece up early on and then was 2 pieces for 2 pawns up...

Grangemouth kindly agreed to field Harry so the bottom board match up was closer in strength. A big thanks to Garry who bravely agreed to play in his first ever match for Badgers Brook against Grangemouth A. It was a close match played in a friendly spirit and in the end the better team won.
