Wolverhampton League

Team Consists of: Trevor Brotherton, John Footner, Dave Gostelow, Glyn Pugh, Colin Roberts, Iain Wilson and Richard Thompson.

Richard Thompson performed a Houdini-act last night. He played on in his adjourned game against Lichfield a pawn down. Soon his opponent had swapped off Knight, Bishop and Rook, but he mishandled an ending of opposite-coloured Bishops to end up with a Rook file pawn which could not be promoted. Draw agreed. Brilliant, Richard,as that gave us the match.
In the Pittaway Cup match, which finished earlier this evening we beat Warley Quinborne 5-3, with wins from Trevor, Iain, Gareth and Geoff and draws from Glyn Pugh and Colin. A fine result, though they were missing a couple of key players.
Unfortunately, Dave has resigned his game against Jana Bellin, meaning that we have lost to Walsall, even if I manage to win my outstanding game.
