Rainham 1 vs Snodland 1: 2-4


Snodland 1st team managed to win their first ever match in the Lewis Cup. The result was convincing 4-2 victory over a Rainham team that was slightly stronger in terms of grading points.

Snodland managed to score 3.5 from the first 4 games to finish and so the match was already secured as the top two boards fought on. Zibby Koncki was disappointed not to be able to win in Queen and pawn vs Queen ending, although he was very short of time and it was difficult to see a way to progress.

Ben Spink was the last game to finish in a very close game against Martin Taylor, the Kent Champion.

David Fowler and Peter Turner played very nice games to beat their opponents and Matthew Bunn managed to turn round a very bad position thanks to a nice tactic that his opponent missed.
