Shropshire got a bad start after one of their players did not arrive, but Ieun Fenton soon equalised matters and Shrops went into the lead after Dele Ogundipe's win. At this stage other games were also looking good for the Midlands team. This outlook was not to contine. It started with Ian Davies "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" - his own words. Kent were soon 6 - 3 up and the remaining boards drew to give Kent victory. (Based on Ian Davies' report in The Middlegame Results Supplement 22.)
