The Central League season started with the opening Under 1500 Cup Match
Stirling 3½-1½ Grangemouth
Harry Feather 1471 1-0 Bill Gray 1411
Steve Smith 1460 1-0 William Walker 1453
Douglas Heatlie 1377 ½-½ Sean Gray 1311
Tom Nimmo 1169 1-0 Jim Stallard 1293
Mick Bloor 1143 0-1 Crawford Welsh 1281
Stirling had White on boards 2 and 4
Stirling captain Steve provided this report:
Tom was first to finish [when his kingside attack led to checkmate]. He was followed by board 1 when Harry won a piece. Grangemouth pulled one back when Crawford found a winning fork.
I blundered a piece at move 8. I was fortunate that William worried too much about me getting a wheen of pawns for it and his lack of development allowed me to regain the piece with a much better position.
That left board 3 where Doug was in trouble for a while but got back to being a pawn down in an opposite coloured bishop ending which was a clear draw.
The result means that Stirling will visit Clackmannanshire next Wednesday 23rd for the semi-final.
