With the Coronavirus\nchallenging the way we work and play it seems a distant memory since the Bees match\nagainst Winwick on the 11th<\/sup> March 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Could this possibly\nbe the last match played by any Culcheth team in the Warrington league in the 2019\/20\nseason?, only time will tell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The match was an exciting affair which ultimately came down to the last 2 games with the score level at 2-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both these\ngames came down to blitz finishes which could have swung either way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My game looked level, until in time trouble \u2013 I blundered, fortunately my opponent missed his opportunity and in a mad time scramble black won a pawn and went on to win, advantage to Bees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Damian was the last game to finish. The game ended in a frenzy of moves with white securing a perpetual check and the game ended in a draw, giving the Bees the overall win by the narrowest of margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final match score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scores from the games (where available)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Board 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Damian v Richard Clissold – 0.5-0.5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n The Mighty Bees\n <\/td> \n \n <\/td> \n \n <\/td> \n Winwick\n <\/td><\/tr> \n Damian McCarthy\n <\/td> \n 0.5\n <\/td> \n 0.5\n <\/td> \n Richard Clissold\n <\/td><\/tr> \n Tom Vout\n <\/td> \n 0\n <\/td> \n 1\n <\/td> \n Dave Stuttard\n <\/td><\/tr> \n Keith Maudsley\n <\/td> \n 1\n <\/td> \n 0\n <\/td> \n Ken Johnson\n <\/td><\/tr> \n Steve Cole\n <\/td> \n 1\n <\/td> \n 0\n <\/td> \n Leon Cox\n <\/td><\/tr> \n Nick Burriss\n <\/td> \n 0.5\n <\/td> \n 0.5\n <\/td> \n Stephen Carr\n <\/td><\/tr> \n Mike Rotchell\n <\/td> \n 0.5\n <\/td> \n 0.5\n <\/td> \n Ben O\u2019Rourke\n <\/td><\/tr> \n \n <\/td> \n 3.5\n <\/td> \n 2.5\n <\/td> \n \n <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
