AIGURTH 2 DEFEAT AIGBURTH 1
Two quickfire draws on boards 3 and 4 kicked off proceedings until Roger won on Board 1 to put Aigburth 1 in front. That was as good as it got for the First team however as Danny and Alistair won on boards 7 and 8 respectively to put Aigburth 2 one up. Martin and Brendan agreed a draw which left boards 5 and 6 in play. Rob Frith seemed to have a big advantage over Dave E, but a brave King march from Dave led to some nice counterplay. The game could have gone either way and I think both players were relieved to be able to repeat the position. Tony tried to get some active play against Steve G but Steve held firm and with time not on Tony's side they agreed a draw.
