Ealing B 6- Surbiton C 0

: Created:09 Mar 2009 , by Alastair Johnstone

Meanwhile, Ealing B were gifted a walkover win over Surbiton C.

Ealing B thus consolidated its efforts to gain promotion from Division 3 of the Thames Valley League. With less than two hours before the scheduled start of play, Surbiton advised they were unable to muster a team and therefore conceded the match.

Not a particularly gratifying scenario, but with the team we had lined up to play, I suspect the over-the-board result may not have been much different.
