Both teams went into tonight's re-arranged match with a league record of played 7, won 3, drawn 3, lost 1. No other teams in the league can catch either team. Badgers Brook had a slight advantage in board points, meaning a drawn match would have been enough for them, whereas Stirling had to win.
The match got off to a bad start for Stirling when Robin lost to Kenny - although the match could have been settled sooner if Kenny had noticed Robin's en prise knight. I then finished against Andrew with a draw (game below). I looked at the other games, and thought they could all have gone either way. I nipped downstairs to the toilet, came back upstairs and found that all the remaining games had finished as draws.
Congratulations, then, to Badgers Brook on their league title!
