Leyland's team consisted of two well-graded players and two less experienced players, so a 2-2 result could have been expected. However, Dave on board two used the white pieces to good effect, putting pressure on the higher-graded Steve, resulting in a blunder which led to a 3-1 victory for both Dave and the team. The last game to finish was Paul Worsley's against Sean Fitzgibbon (now graded 171). The game was looking drawish, but after two hours, Paul slipped up and his position collapsed. Pouton 2 now have 12 points out of 12, and look safe for the championship of Div. C.
