Dave Hewitt writes:- Congratulations to Dunfermline B, who clinched division 2 for the third season in a row and for the eighth season in the last ten with a convincing 4-1 win over their nearest rivals. Dunfermline take the title with a match to spare, being three points ahead of Stirling after a very solid season which has seen them win eight of their nine matches and lose just one.

There was a bit of rejigging at the start tonight as Stewart Brisbane didn't appear for Dunfermline and after a few minutes Ian Robertson checked his phone and found a text from Stewart saying he was in hospital. Calum and I paused our clock and I joined Ian, Peter and Craig outside in the corridor to work out what to do, and of course given the circumstances it was no problem to slot in a replacement. So Peter (who had intended being the non-playing captain) took over on board 4 with a ten-minute deficit which didn't seem to hinder him as he won an interesting game in due course.

We're pleased to hear Stewart is out of hospital, and hope he's feeling better.
