Harvey Cup match 19/01/2012

Our latest match in this year's Harvey Cup (last night v Weald of Kent) resulted in a 4-2 victory, thereby maintaining our strong results in the competition.
David N and David L gave strong performances to record convincing wins, while the other full point was achieved by Pete who gave checkmate almost out of the blue !
Neil's opponent, although a piece for 2 pawns up, was happy to settle for a draw while George couldn't make his various advantages count for more than a half point. Hugh almost crashed through with a fierce kingside attack, but was left material down from which he was unable to recover.
With 3 matches to go we are giving ourselves every chance of reaching the semi-finals with a record so far of 4.5 /5
