The final round of this year's chess competition took place at the Royal Oak.
Ian Brooks played Nigel Jones & Paul Morris took on Steve Hunt. Ian & Paul were tonight's winners.
This year's competition winners therefore are Ian and Paul on 5 points with Nigel on 4 and Steve 3.
Thank you to Sharon Morris for organising.
