Uckfield 2 v Eastbourne 4

The second team did well in the home match during the  club session against Eastbourne 4 and registered our first match win of the season by 3.5-1.5. Unfortunately I (Brian) spoiled the party somewhat having had a strong opening and entering the middle game with confidence, but then I made a catastrophic blunder and although I fought long and hard and came close to recovering a draw in the end it had to be conceded at the end of time as a computer would have found the win for him even if he could not in the time available. Benedict also fought long and hard on board 5 and achieved a very creditable draw, but Ian, Artur and Michael all won their games convincingly and it was great to see Ian back with us.
