The first team went to Chislehurst on 5th December for an interesting Harvey Cup match, which was drawn 3-3. Lee, playing his first game for the first team, drew quite quickly and Don was unfortunate in his loss. Then Ken Smith, playing his first first team game since February 2009, won a good game and Dave Helps won to continue his 3-year unbeaten run for the club (4 years in February!). Gary prudently rejected a bishop sacrifice and took a draw, but Ian blundered in time-trouble to leave the match drawn at 3-3.
