Gordon finished first, i didn't see what happened but it sounded painful.
It took a while for the next game to end, I think it was Ste Henderson who had an interesting tactical struggle on board 1.
Dave and I finished around the same time, Dave was a piece up, later giving it back to get a dangerous passed pawn.
Mike was always on the back foot in our game after a dubious pawn push in the opening. I did however have to be careful that we didn't trade into a drawn ending. Mike could have put up a little more resistance at some points but once my rook hit the 7th it was over.
Bernie finished last (again) having 2 extra pawns in a rook endgame he was just able to make the time control and Chris was forced to capitulate a move or two later when the pawns reached the 7th.
Random Trivia: Hartlepool are currently top in all 3 of the Durham, Darlington and Cleveland divisions they have a team in.
The spectators are literally watching the last game.
It's all over. Handshakes exchanged and once again Hartlepool are victorious
