| Devonshire Cup - Stock Exchange end Athenaeum's hopes |
Having beaten an RAC team in the first round of this popular duplicate rubber bridge competition, the established Athenaeum team of Lloyd & Cooper, Ricketts & Thornton came up against a strong Stock Exchange squad in Round 2. After 14 boards, our opponents held a slight advantage, but finally ran out easy winners in an error-strewn 2nd half.

| Ricketts/Galletti win by a Short Head |
The November inter-club pairs competition was hotly contested, with less than 1 board covering the top half-dozen pairs. Pascal Ricketts & Ian Galletti emerged as winners with Tim Smith & Jeremy Willans and Catherine Rice Evans & Rex Goad in close pursuit.
Thanks to TD Paul Russell, and congratulations on his 5th place finish in one of the toughest events in the Bridge Calendar, the Great Northern Swiss Pairs.
