Ilford won the toss (that’s about all we won), White on odd boards in Round 1. Ilford conceded an average of 200 rating points per board so the result wasn’t that surprising but nevertheless dismal. The match started badly for us and just got worse. With a draw in round 1 Neville avoided it being a team whitewash.
