06 May: Gala 2½-1½ Selkirk B; John Moore wins BICC Minor
06 May 2025: Good play by Gala
Recovering quickly from last week's defeat against Kelso, Gala travelled to the Town Arms to play their "home" match against Selkirk B, and came away winners by 2½-1½. On Board 1 Martin Wallace gradually squeezed John Moore's position until the loss of a third pawn was enough to force John's resignation. On the other boards: Gerry Johnstone and Geoff Hope played a long and hard draw; Sam Cornwell defeated Rob Crosbie with a kingside attack; and on board 4 Ally Gray took advantage of a slip by Tam Wylie. 2½-1½ to Gala.
