HA2 Vs Kirby Muxloe 1

The first result was a loss for John on board 3 - i didn't get to see any of it. In my usual time trouble, i offered my opponent a draw in a roughly equal position on board 4 and this was accepted. Our Captain, on 1, was offered a draw and, seeing that Paul could force a draw anyway, took it. Rob was the hero of the day securing the whole point and drawing the match with his usual superior endgame technique.
