Last night the final round of the Danish First Divison was played.

Before the last round was played the score was very tight between two
teams.

Klaps and Team Oeresund was even in points (both had 24 points), but
as Klaps had one more match won they were leading the division.


With a tremendous finnish in the last three rounds the team,
Hackenbush, was suddenly also a contender for the important second
place that can give a spot in the Elite division.

Actually, if Hackenbush could win the last round, and either of the
two leading teams could win, Hackenbush would overtake the loosing
leader.

Faith (and a little foresight from the tournament committee) would
have it, that Klaps and Team Oeresund had to play in the final round.

And what a match ...

Oeresund won the first match, as Peter Derman defeated Karsten Bredahl
17-15 in DMP.

Klaps equalized with Henrik Bodholdt's victory vs. Erik Gravgaard.
Henrik won a doubled backgammon, trailing 11-13 !!

At this time in both the two remaining matches Klaps was in the lead,
untill Oeresund regained the lead with Allan Herskinds victory vs. Jes
Bondo.

Hereafter the crowd was gathering around the match between Benjamin F.
Lund and Thomas Jespersen, and after a tough match again we had double
match point, and the crowd got all the exitement they could ask for.

The captain of Oeresund, Benjamin F. Lund, decided the combat be
winning the final game in the final match in the final round; and Team
Oeresund won the division.

Hackenbush lost their match, so Klaps could keep their second place
and a chance for the Elite division.
