Fisherwick Smash Fortress PFC

A consecutive win for QUB over Fisherwick may have all but ended the Evil Empire's title aspirations but - wouldn't Ulster Chess followers just know it - things couldn't have gone much differently. Rather than it being a tale of Queen's putting Fisherwick's challenge to bed, it was Fisherwick who stunned their hosts to blow the race for the Silver King wide open once more.
