For the final match of the season, Cockermouth played Winderemere A at home, on Saturday 23rd April. Cockermouth was the only team that could still challenge Windermere for the title. However, Windermere were leading the first division by 2 points ahead of Cockermouth. This meant that Cockermouth had to win by more than 3-1. The exact score of 3-1 would not be sufficient to win the league, unless the loss would be on board 4, as the tie-break is decided by elimination of bottom board results, which would have been in favour of Windermere.
The challenge was high to achieve such a win against a team like Windermere. All the more that one of our key team member was abroad and could not get back on time to play the match, due to the UK flight restrictions. In spite of these adverse conditions, our team was decided to fight hard.
Philippe Gleizon on board 3 decided to play a more active opening than usual and replied Dave Phillips king pawn opening by the Scandinavian opening. Unfortunately after a promising start, he miscalculate an exchange and lost a piece. The game continued in the hope of getting some compensation for the piece, but Dave Phillips trapped Philippe's king in a mating net forcing Black's resignation. At that stage, Windermere had already regained their title.

John Jarmany on board 1 was a pawn down but hold his game against John Toothill and eventually agreed a draw.
The board 2 was a double-edge game, where Roger Hart had a better position. The game ended with a beautiful knight, rooks and queen combination to trap Bartlomiej Kaszynski's king in a mating net, which could only be avoid at the cost of heavy material loss.
Last game to finish, on board 4, was looking like a draw in a closed position. But Nigel South would not be satisfied unless it ended in fireworks! The position sharpens after opening the position. Unfortunately, this left his king exposed, which was skillfully exploited by David Shaw.
So sadly we lost our trophy on that last match of the season, but our team was not undeserving since we finished in second of the first division, after another excellent year.
