Grantham 2's last match in the Nottinghamshire League away against Long Eaton. Grantham were keen to avenge their loss earlier in the season in this return match. The mission was accomplished via a strong performance on boards 3, 4 and 5 with wins for Trevor Palmer, Chris Holt and Ben Mason. Andy Hebert drew on board 2 after a long, hard defensive struggle. On top board, Ivan David was pitted against Raymond Evans who outgrades Ivan by some 28 ECF grading points. Unfortunately, the stronger player prevaled but that still left the score as 2.5 to 1.5 for Grantham.
With this final match of the season, Grantham 2 finish in 4th place in League 2 which is a creditable performance given some of the strength of the opposition.
