Date Notes
18 October 1998 File first uploaded as a zipped file.
12 July 2022 Updated with a viewer and crosstable. The games now have dates. Note that, whilst updating this material, I discovered a game from the Masters that had previously been posted here with a wrong result. The correct result is Arkell 0-1 Mannion (rd 8 - not ½-½ as previously given here. It's still wrong on Mega Database 2022).
