The first round of the Bedfordshire individual championships saw wins for Ledger (v Valentine), Ganger R (v Matthews), Pike S (v Jurewicz) and Botteley (default v Ramesh) and draws for Habershon (v Taylor) and Ganger S (v Freeman – an excellent result against a strong player).
The stand out result of the round however was Ben Pike’s victory over Kevin Williamson, the county captain and rated some 84 points higher than Ben! The game is available here.
Bring on round 2!
