Round Two - The Real McCoy’s Ridge Cut Salt & Malt Vinegar v Tyrrells Cider Vinegar & Sea Salt


Tasters for this match: Andy Fish, Jemma, Tess Tickle

Tyrrells were handed a bye in the First Round, so this was their SVWC09 debut. It didn’t go well. They were up against one of the favourites for the tournament - especially as Kettle Chips and Seabrooks have been beaten already - and would have to pull out an amazing performance to progress. And they didn’t manage it. The McCoys were not particularly outstanding, maybe a poor batch from the factory, but they still outscored Tyrrells in every category, which was disappointing as a contest. At the same stage in 2007 McCoys defeated Tesco S&V, and went on to meet Kettle Chips in the Semis - who will they meet this time round?
