The final 2 rounds of the Bedfordshire Individual Championship were contested in the Berrill Cafe, Open University, Sunday 14th May.
In round 5, the top board was contested between Rob Whiteside and Adrian Elwin, both of Milton Keynes, which ended in a hard fought draw. This gave
Steve Ledger the opportunity to take the sole lead, but he suffered a rare loss to James Gardner, which allowed James to catch Rob and Adrian.
In the final round, James had white against Adrian and Steve got the upfloat against Rob. Both games ended in draws.
With his second win of the day, Graham Borrowdale also managed to get to 4½ points resulting in a 4-way tie for first place.
This is the first time that the County Championship has been won by a Milton Keynes player since 2011-12 and, this year, 3 of the 4 are from Milton Keynes.
