Of course. it was regrettable but unavoidable that our two teams should meet, but three draws suggest it was a bonny fight … Scotland A are lying 3rd after Round 5 but still have to face Russia and Israel in addition to Wales and Norway.
Some of our “boys” are doing really well. Alan Scrimgour, for example, is sitting on 80%, and isn’t Alastair White putting in a real captain’s “lead from the front” example? Currently, Alan is ranked 4th= overall and is outright leader on Board 4.
Keep it up …

PS I haven’t mentioned Ian Marks whose first Round win looks like one for the anthologies - Black to play and win! My reason? Entirely Scottish. It’d probably cost me an ice cream, and I like to keep my siller in my pocket. (Just kidding, Ian. I’ll buy you one first time I see you. Honest! That aside, all your work on Book Reviews may have produced its own reward?)
