Although technically an away match for Stirling Bruce, this was played at Stirling chess club.

After Dunfermline Minnows' recent 14-2 victory over Badgers Brook, Bruce had to win by 15-1 (what would be a record victory for any team in this league) to retain the league title. This hugely unlikely score became simply a dream as the first round of matches finished. Going into the fourth round, Bruce trailed 5½ - 6½, but a last round win of 3-1 gave us the match, but not the title.

Congratulations, then, to Dunfermline Minnows on their league title!
