Top of the table clash ended in a draw. Wins for William and Jamie, a draw for Jorge and losses for Mike and Chris.

William looked much better and then smoothly converted, Jorge had a solid looking draw.

Mike ran into mating threats in time trouble, Chris had some interesting opening prep but drifted into trouble and Jamie ground down his opponent in a better ending.
