26 May 2026: Kelso v Selkirk B; plus a report from the Perth Allegro
Kelso were the visitors to Selkirk last night, and the result was a 2-2 draw. Kelso players Keith Aitchison and Ian Whittaker won on the top two boards, while on boards 3 and 4 Selkirk B recorded wins by Mark Gardiner and Nick Dunne. This means that the League depends on the result of the forthcoming Kelso v NHS match. If NHS win, then the League is theirs; but if Kelso draw or win that match, then Kelso will win the League.League results, plus the Bogle-Aitchison and Whittaker-Richards games...
