WCBA Champ. Pairs How They Did

Mixed fortunes for SCBC Pairs at the WCBA Championship Pairs & Introductory Pairs Event hald at WMBC on Sunday 29th Jnnuary.

Three Pairs qualified for the main final with Steve Wood & Jeremy Fenwick eventually finishing 2nd overall after leading on carryover and Mike Leese and John Collin finishing 3rd having pre-qualified for the day at Arden BC only the week before.

Birthday boy Nick Woosnam and Anne Woosnam just scraped into the final but managed to slightly improve their position to 12th overall out of 14 after an indifferent session.

Meanwhile in the consolation final Audrey & Henry McBride beat 26 other pairs to WIN the Consolation Pairs Event.

John Hind & Caroline Coombs were disappointed to finish about half way but enjoyed the event but like everyone thought 50 boards was a lot if you were not regularly used to that number.

Meanwhile at the introductory pairs SCBC's best pair were Brian Nash & Mike Wann who finished 6th out of 26 pairs with Walter Nicholls and Pam Bister a creditable 9th. Fortune was not so kind on other SCBC pairs.
