6 April 2015
Limewood scored a valuable and unexpected draw in a brillant performance against promotion-chasing Copperworks at the Fox and Grapes.
Copperworks outgraded us at every board – overall by a total of something like 150 points. And the result?: Limewood scored a win by Paul and 3 draws, from Philip, Andy and Gareth, to even the match. That strengths our position at 3rd place in the league table. Only Pudsey B can now overtake us – and we meet them in the final league match on 20 April.
Yet Copperworks were not too unhappy at the result. They came to the match needing only a draw to guarantee their promotion back to Division 2. They got their draw so they were able to celebrate too.
A rare case of congratulations all round!
