Cory Gathercole, with a PL MA was 6.50 was therefore not eligible and on the night he scored 2 (+1) points and the Meeting ended as a 45 – 45 draw with Swindon gaining 1 Match Point and Kings Lynn 2 Match points.

Accordingly as permitted by SR 15.10.1 the Meeting Result is now revised by deducting Gathercole’s points and is therefore:

SWINDON 45 KINGS LYNN 43

The effect is that Swindon have 2 Match Points and Kings Lynn 1 Match Point.
