Dunfermline 1-4 Stirling
1. Calum Newton (1448) 1-0 Toby Geyer (1491)
2. Douglas Rew (1341) 0-1 Harry Feather (1471)
3. George Webb (1283) 0-1 Steve Smith (1460)
4. Ali Shuttleworth (1234) 0-1 Doug Heatlie (1377)
5. Daniel Lynch (1221) 0-1 Tom Nimmo (1169)
Steve provides this brief report on the Cup Final victory:
Stirling came back from Dunfermline with the trophy after a 4-1 win.
Board 4 finished first and was quickly followed by 5. Dunfermline reduced the arrears when Toby's opening advantage was lost after Calum got his queen active with a check.
Board 2 was looking like an opposite coloured bishop draw for a while, but Harry somehow got it down to a won pawn ending and Stirling's win was assured. A few moments later George resigned as his passed pawns could be stopped whereas mine couldn't.
