The Fenton Bully Boys piled the pressure on the chasing pack with a 2.5 - 1.5 win against 2nd placed Cheddleton 'E' last night. This was the 6th successive win for the 'A' team and we have now gone 6 points clear at the top with only 2 matches remaining. Grandmaster draws from Tony and Steve on boards 1 and 3 left the match level early in the evening. Neal then continued his unbeaten season with a win on board 4 to put us 2 - 1 in the lead and needing only a draw from Rob on board 2 to win the match. At this point Rob was the exchange and a pawn up, and a win was highly likely, but he agreed the draw to give us the match - or, as he likes to put it, 'he took one for the team !!' Neal now has an 80% record for the season with 6 wins and 4 draws from 10 matches. Rob has only lost once in 28 matches with 11 wins and 16 draws.
