Late final extra, read all about it!

The result of the U-180 National Semi-final match: Surrey 7.5-8.5 Lancs - as submitted by "Bill O'Rourke" on the 12th June, the day of the match - has not yet been confirmed by Surrey on the official ECF ('oxfordfusion') results site.

And, the SCCA website has the following comment (in its County fixtures / results) -

"A dispute concerning board 16 could alter the outcome of the match"

Bd. 16 for Lancs? "ORourke, William"!

Not much time if there is a dispute in the outstanding U100 semi final match, is there? Presumably, a neutral arbiter will be present at the match though

It's currently scored as a draw, so Surrey may believe they have a claim for a win. Like the U-100 match, their claim has to be resolved very soon. Does anyone want to hint what it might be?

As the subject has been raised, I feel that I should state that Surrey have been asked not to report or comment publicly until the matter has been resolved.

The established arbiter's fudge of awarding a point and a half would still leave Lancs as the winners, so someone has to make a decision as to why Surrey can overturn the reported result. You surely cannot take that long to decide an Appendix G claim, or the factual matter as to whether Surrey had mating material if the Lancs flag fell in an overwhelming position? Both flags down, but witnesses say the Lancs one fell first?

How about waiting to hear from the official channels, and deciding there are more important things in life to think about?

In the outstanding U100 semi-final, the results site is reporting a walkover for Kent.

Something unpleasant seems to have occurred in the U180 dispute, but I don't know what.

The result is Surrey 7.5 Lancashire 8.5 as originally reported.

But that's not the full story, is it? I was there, and regard that result as ludicrous.

I can confirm that this is the case. Kent advised me around 10PM last night

I can also confirm that Lancashire progress to the final of the U180.

I don't know whether the Appeal Committee's view of events is going to be published. If it is, then it's probably better to give them a couple of days to do that.
