Division 2 Result: 2.5 : 1.5
Highcliffe is a team very strong in depth - Ken on Board 3 played very well. Despite IM on Board 1 they deserved their result. We must now focus on the return match next month and hope to strengthen the squad with Tony being available, plus Paul Jackson, who again played really well to get draw on Board 2.
