Brian Hilton's wife had covid so that meant last minute he pulled out giving Alex the automatic win - he went on to play Paul Errington in a friendly and managed a draw which was a good result. James E sat for 30 minutes but unfortunately Kieron was a no show which was a shame. This left two boards though this swiftly became one. Paul Jackson blundered early in the opening and he resigned. They played on after a couple of times for fun with similar results. James is now 5/5 for the tournament playing on board 2 which is an incredible performance! This left board 1. Steve surprised Daniel with his opening though it quickly went into unusual place that neither was familiar with. Daniel blundered a tactic that lost him a bishop and you would think the game, however he had the asset of a passed pawn. With this distraction and some other tactics Steve managed to blunder a completely winning endgame with all the pawns traded off and bishop versus rook where a draw was agreed. Buccaneers win 3.5-0.5 and the tournament.
