18 players competed today in cold but dry conditions.  The competition was organised in Swiss format and 6 rounds were played. This ensured that there were 3 players with 5 wins each.  Of course, A beat B beat C beat A applied so the Manager had to exercise his few remaining braincells to determine a winner of the bottle of wine.

After an analysis of opponents Janet Hoptroff was declared the winner, having apparently beaten the best combination of opponents.  Unfortunately the Manager rushed his calculations and made a mistake, discovered when writing this up: in fact, correct figures put Janet and Liz tied, but as Janet beat Liz she was correctly declared the winner of the bottle! Position of remaining ties determined by quality of opponents.
