Match Report “By Captain Iain Johnson,”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Culcheth-Lymm headed to a new venue in St Helens to play the Peninsula cup final. Captain Johnson won the toss and chose White on odd boards.
\nWith usual stars Marek and Jonathan on top boards inform player Damian gained promotion to board 3. The old stalwarts Iain and Tom were on 4 and 5 with magician Steve, following great wins against Jonathan Smith and Tom Dugdale providing a strong board 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the unenviable task of playing black against Dave Hill , Jonathan held firm against the English and finished first with a good draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
