A clean sweep and an unbeaten run of league matches sees Julia Hayward finish top of Division 1 this season. In her final match against Neal Foston this evening, she won 11-9! A close match with some interesting positions but it also means that Neal finishes bottom and will play in Division 2 next season, looking for an immediate bounce back.
