Graham looked to be the odds on favourite as we went into the final round of the blitz last night with his nearest rival Stefan needing to make up a full 2 points to equalize. The tension was high with everything riding on the final game of the last round. In the end a strong showing by Stefan, and Graham dropping a point in the final round to Hilton, meant that Stefan streaked home on 23 points to take the title of Club Blitz Champion for 2012.
