1 February 2016 - Central League Division 1

Tonight's match v Grangemouth was effectively a title decider. Grangemouth, on 4 wins out of four, could only be caught by us, as both Dunfermline and Cumbernauld have already lost at least twice.

When Dougie Will sits down on board 4, it's always going to be tough...Bill and Ian finished with a draw first. I felt I was struggling from move 8 onwards, although according to Stockfish I had my chances at various points. The rest of the games all finished within a few minutes of each other, and all in favour of Grangemouth.

Congratulations to Grangemouth on their league title!
