For some reason this site seems to like everything left- aligned, so apologies for the results being a little difficult to read. Clicking on the title takes you to the site I copied the results across from, and is a little easier to read.


My understanding of the reason for it being played over 14 boards is that Cornwall were unable to raise 16 players, and so Somerset agreed to the bottom 2 boards being double- defaulted.

Looking at the results it's not entirely surprising the margin of victory. Most of the boards had 15- 20 points grading difference. Nevertheless, credit to Simon Bartlett (who completely outplayed me, and was very unfortunate only to drew.), K. Kneebone, Colin Sellwood, and el capitane Anton Barkhuysen, who all scored excellent results for Cornwall.
