FIRST LEAGUE MATCH

Tonight`s result. A very exciting finish on board 3 decided the match, both players fought until the end, sadly one had to loose. 
Ballynafeigh/B 2 Belfast South 3 

This is the position from my game with Damien.  Black to move, sadly black missed Cunning Plan A and had to settle for Cunning Plan D, according to Rybka analysis.
