Crawford Macnab
10 October 2024
The 1st round of the Allegro League took place on Thursday 10th October, and with both teams having finished in the top two places last season, this season they will face the other stonger teams from last season.
In the first match both our teams played each other!
The second team claimed bragging rights with a decisive victory!
Bank of Scotland 1 continue to be a solid team with Euan being the only player to take a full point.

The second team went down against Musselburgh which should have been a drawn match had Crawford not lost on time in a winning position. Unfortunately an analogue clock made it tricky to tell how much time was remaining!
