Tournaments
In the run-in for the Championship, the last three games all involve Paul Barclay. In the first of these, played 20-May-2008, he suffered the tragedy of losing on time against David Sedgwick, who therefore finishes on 5/8, passing Ian Calvert's score of 4½. Paul Barclay now has to win both of his last two games to force a play-off.
Page wins Ratcliff
Having finished last in the 2007 Ratcliff, Martin Page stormed to an emphatic victory in 2008 with 4½/5.
