Close call at Gala
Selkirk B travelled to the Focus Centre on Tuesday 14th to meet a strong Gala team. Gala won by 2½-1½, but that was still a good result for Selkirk B. Bill Miller overcame a 251 grading difference to hold the draw against Stuart Wilson, and on board 1 Martin Keen was very close to drawing or even defeating Martin Wallace, but only just got outplayed in a 69-move game.
In other news this week, Selkirk's Dave Bogle lost his 4th round BICC match against Gordon Christie.
