Peter Bond Trophy - A Great First Round Win For Us Against Saham Toney! (Copy) |
A great performance and win by Dereham Bridge Club against strong opposition in Monday Evening's hard fought match against Saham Toney. Dereham won 13 boards, lost 9 and drew 2
Highlights below of some of the best performances of the night for the Dereham side:
- Hand 7 - Lesley & David stealing 3H to score the only EW plus score on this board +11IMPs
- Hand 9 - Christine & Richard bid and made 6NT as did Di & Gillian (both Saham Towney pairs stopped in game) +14 IMPs
- Hand 20 - Saw Nick & Neil making 5C* (as NS) with an overtrick for a score of 950 (always have your best hand when vulnerable!) and contributing to our best board score of +17 IMPs
- Hand 20 - Gillian & Di this time (sitting as EW) bid and made 4H with only 17 points between them. This gave us the only plus score by an EW pair on that board.
Overall, we had 4 plus scores on board 7 and 3 plus scores on 8 other boards. ST had 4 plus scores on board 11 and 3 plus scores on 5 other boards, which leaves 9 boards scoring 2 plus scores each which, of course, is what should happen on level pegging play.
So, a great result, as well as lovely hospitality from Andrew & Sally Rawnsley from Saham Towney club.
This is probably the right time to remind you all that as promised those who were unavailable or did not play in this match (Graham, Penny, Jane O, Peter, Mike, Chris, Sandra will have first refusal for play in the next round. Peter Bond will do the draw for this soon.
Congratulations to all

Really Easy Congress 2019 |
For a relatively new club, we play host to some very talented players of which we are rightly extremely proud. At the Norfolk Congress 2019 held at the Wensum Valley Hotel, we had outstanding representation. Of the twenty three teams playing in the misleadingly named Really Easy Congress, three pairs from the Club finished in the top eight! Our congratulations go to Lesley Matthews & David Sumbler, for their first place win and successful claim of the President’s Trophy! Our Congratulations also to our two other finely placed pairs: Penny Pomfret & Jane O’dell and Jane Keidan-Cooper & Elspeth Mackinlay
The member’s accolades do not stop here; with a win for Chris Mallon (with partner Mike Scoltock) in the Men’s Pairs; a further win in the Friday Team’s event (with team members Alan Cooke, Gary Hyett and Mike Scoltock) and Chris was also mentioned in the Saturday’s Daily Telegraph for his 4th place success in the Norfolk Swiss Pairs event (with partner Mike Scoltock). Congratulations Chris Mallon!
