Third league match saw us face a strong regular Premier Division team Edinburgh 2 and were outgraded by a significant margin on nearly every board.
Great win for Charles against Raj Bhopal who appeared to push for a win when it was looking like a draw was the expected result.
Matt lost the exchange to his 2000+ opponent but managed to simplify into a R v B ending (pawnless) which was agreed drawn.
