Club Matches
 
MCC v Athenaeum 3 October 2024
Our first match of the 2024-2025 season was at Lord's, never a happy hunting ground for Athenaeum bridge players. Our MCC hosts, who entertained us well,  had a comfortable lead at half-time. Despite a second half recovery we could not prevent the home team winning by 11 IMPs. We were represented by John Neilson and Nita Wheeler, Catherine Rice-Evans and RexGoad, Bill Shanahan and Michael Oppenheimer and James Cooper and Geoff Lloyd
