Match report from Richard Turner. A depleted Worc side fought well getting the best of the Bulldogs over the top boards.  Terry Pountney was gifted a win when all his opponent needed to do was make a holding move.  On board one trench warfare led to a closed position and a draw.  There were quick wins for Kevin Day and Richard Turner.  Joseph Friar was a piece for three pawns in a complicated position when he lost on time.  Pete Seeley fell for a trap and lost his queen early on. Maureen Clarke and Tony Taylor battled on trying to secure the draw on the day before succumbing.
