In their final league match of 2014-15 Dunfermline came so close to winning an unlikely Division One title. Three and a half points were needed against the defending champs but the match ended in a tie after Fred turned down a draw but then lost in the last game to finish. A draw would have won the match for Dunfermline but also would have lost the title by a half game point. Fred rightly chose to play on but ultimately could not fend off Fabio’s attack. Many congratulations to Badgers Brook on their successful defence of the title.
In the earlier games a crushing win on top board was cancelled out by a careless loss on board 5 but Stuart then restored Dunfermline’s lead after John did not get sufficient compensation for the loss of a piece. Alas no progress could be made on board 4 which started fairly blocked and continued that way thereafter and then came the gallant effort by Fred.
All in all a decent effort by Dunfermline who were missing a few of their higher rated players in several matches over the course of the season.

- Kenny McGeoch 0-1 Ian Robertson
