With F Rayner requesting a rest we were up against it.
Though I did win a crucial toss it was not enough.Though I had better play v a Reti/English set up I was unable to convert for the full point.
J Sugden played against a Stonewall Dutch by transposition 4....f5 but could not make headway.
Andrew was better but played some tired moves in the latter middlegame and went down badly resigning the final position.
Chris Howell is a likely draw not yet conceded.
Richard blundered his a pawn leaving his opponent with a passed b pawn still on b6 with opposite coloured bishops. The position is either lost or drawn - either way we still lose the match.
1. G Lock 0.5-0.5 J Sugden
2. J Mansson C Howell
3. A Higgs R Almond
4. D Roberts 0.5-0.5 PJ Kelly
5. P Taylor 1-0 A Fleming
