Report
By Mark Adams
Played
at the excellent venue of the Vale of Glamorgan Country Club, this evenly
balanced match was keenly contested. Gwent took the lead when Varley trapped
Trevelyan’s queen early on. Then there came a rush of dubious draw decisions,
where East Glam were clearly better in most of them – decisions which could
have made the match much closer. In the end Gwent’s top boards caused the
damage scoring 3½/4. It must also be said that Gwent’s bottom boards, who were
considerably outrated, performed very well, scoring 3/5. Most notable was Gary
Thomas’ win against D.Jones. With a number of our top players out, Gwent can
only look forward to the next county match.
