Nomads II 2 – 4 Rotherham
Geoff Frost predicted that Rotherham would bring a strong team for this semi-final match and he was proved right. We were unable to match their strength in depth despite fielding our strongest team of the season. Congratulations to Ray for an excellent endgame win and commiserations to Les who was two pawns up at one stage. As ever, many thanks to everyone who played for Nomads 2 this season.
