Third match in the handicap,finally reached 50%,team needed four points to draw.Easier said than done.
Win on boards 1-4, hope for something on the other two,I didn't play the opening very well,so tried a sac,could see a draw but after walkabout,thought 'not enough'.
Confidence raised when John won on 6. Then Dave agreed a draw and I had to carry on.
Luckily Mark tried to win,when I left(I couldn't take the pressure) we led 2.5-.5
