In an all-Stirling match the Es, with the benefit of the white pieces on the top two boards, had a very good 2.5-1.5 win over the Cs (board 5 was a double default after both teams had a late call-off).

The Juniors are very, very close to pulling off wins...

It was the Night of Knight Moves. On board 5, Douglas, as White got to here against Mick.

The Bishop fork on c3 looks strong, but Douglas rescued it with Nd5!! After Qa5, unfortunately he didn't follow it up with Nxc3, but with Bd2 instead - not losing the fork, but not really gaining any advantage.

On board 1, honorary junior for 1 night only Martin, had a fantastic game against the returning William. After some early pressure, Martin got a wee bit stuck, and after move 28 ... Qh6 was here.

In time trouble, he found 29 Ng5! Not only threatening the fork on f7, but the Bishop on b7. Accidentally handing the exchange back later in the game was unfortunate, but a valiant effort against someone graded 600+ points above him.

In the interests of balance, Martyn also had a nice Nb6 move to win against Ross - but it wasn't as nice as the two above :)
