Horsham 1 suffer narrow loss away against Hastings 1

Horsham 1 had an unproductive trip down to Hastings at the start of February, when they suffered a narrow (but decisive) loss to their first team.

Gavin Lock drew with Francis Rayner on board one, but losses on boards two and four (Mark Broom vs John Sugden and Anthony Higgs vs James Wheeler) gave Hastings 1 a decisive 2.5-0.5 lead. James Mansson managed to swindle Henry Cove on board four to make the final score a more respectable 1.5-2.5 margin (from a Horsham perspective), but it was still too little too late.
