One point lead will surely not be enough

Birmingham League Division 5

Lichfield’s 2-2 draw with West End Social gives them a one point lead over Redditch who have two games in hand and look certain champions as they have not lost this season.

Captain John Fryer admits to having a poor losing game on Board 1. There were still plenty of pieces on the board but positionally it was not looking good and though he struggled for a long time his opponent consistently found the right moves.

Lichfield’s hero was Dylan Wright who won on board three and with Connor Whetnall on two and Maurizio Baravalle on board four drawing the match finished 2-2.(Match played 16th March)
