Sandy Bells 1 (away, Oct 14)

A fantastic start to the season, where our third team played a blinder, outgraded by nearly 1100 points in total.
Adam on #1, had the toughest draw, with a grade mountain of +463 to overcome.

Comments from Chris, Captain:

A fantastic debut win by Samuel on #6, also last board to finish, to get the win for the team!
A King and Pawn endgame conversion from Ben against an opponent with a 200+ rating advantage. 
Chris sacked the exchange and managed to create enough counter-play to get a draw in time trouble. 
Silvian was on the defending end of a very aggressive French Advance, but he managed to hold on,
grabbed a pawn and came out on top of a time scramble at the end.
