Frome Congress 2014

Here are the results for the Trowbridge players at Frome this year:

Tom and Tim both win a Somerset trophy.

Player Section Rd 1 Rd 2 Rd 3 Rd 4 Rd 5 Score Performance
Tim Woodward Major 1 1 ½ 1 1 182
Mark Leonard Major 1 1 ½ 0 ½ 3 166
Tom Cooper Intermediate 1 1 1 0 1 4 162
Roy Ludlow Intermediate ½ 0 1 ½ 0 2 109
David Weston Major 0 0 0 - 0 1 89
Nigel Crucefix Minor 0 0 1 0 1 2 83

In the Major Tim finished a clear point ahead of those in 2nd - 5th place. Mark's peaceful draw in the last round wins him £6.25 (whereas a victory would have earned £43).

Tom finished equal 2nd - 4th which should net him £71.66

Team Trowbridge finished on 10½ points, behind Bath on 12½.
Of course, our best four from the squad of six would have scored 13½.
