waiting for David King Zzzzzzzzzz
Bank of Scotland arrived with only five men so we get a point for that but our board one does not turn up point to them so game is back to even, first result was on board 3 and it was a draw so still even, then our board 2 wins on time trouble but that’s down to good play by Maurice Kelly for making it hard at time for Michael Kostryckyj who took around forty minutes on one move, 2 games left to play young Jonathan Mckay on board five his first game for Musselburgh Jonathan played very well he was up two pawns then near the end was up a piece and two pawns with a pawn ready to promote and James Melvin could only stop it by taken it with rook and then Jonathan’s second pawn was now ready to queen and James resigned. this was the game that won the match for us with 3 1/2 points the last game to finish was a hard slog for Robert Wilson and he fought hard to the end but there was only going to be one result and that was a win for Mr Kenny Page final score was 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 to Musselburgh 2.
