THERE has been a dramatic, and unfortunate, development in the Kent League Stevenson Cup semi-final played on Sunday in which Hastings & St Leonards beat Petts Wood & Orpington 4-2 (https://beauchess.blogspot.com/2019/05/cup-match.html).
It turns out our top-board was ineligible because he had not played for the team previously this season (although he had been picked for a match that got postponed and eventually took place with a different line-up).
His win on Sunday has therefore been reversed to a win for the opposition. That makes the match score 3-3, but Petts Wood & Orpington win 10-11 on board-count, and so go through to the final.
As Esther Rantzen was fond of saying: "That's life!"
