11th Beacon Seniors Congress – Day 3
After a fairly dismal start to the week weatherwise, Exmouth enjoyed a cloudless, wind-free day for the 3rd round, and it was noticeable how much nearer the start time of 1 p.m. players arrived, as they enjoyed to sunny interlude.
Every one of the “Junior” games finished decisively, with Simon Bartlett and Alan Brusey moving into the joint lead on 2.5/3 pts. Details:-
| Ariss | (½) | 0 | 1 | Roberts | (0) |
| Bartlett | (1½) | 1 | 0 | McAllan | (1½) |
| Brusey | (1½) | 1 | 0 | Dean | (1) |
| Burton | (1) | 1 | 0 | Sellwood | (1) |
| Rogers | (1) | 0 | 1 | Yeo | (1) |
Meanwhile, in the Seniors Section, Robert Everson won the last Rd. 2 game to finish on Tuesday, thereby joining Dodgson and Footner, J in the lead with a maximum 2/2. However, today all three drew their games and so were joined in the lead by 3 winners, namely Ken Norman, David Openshaw and Phil Stimpson, creating a 6-way tie for the lead.
