WWBA Vince Bevan Pairs 2025 Result

This year's Vince Bevan was a very close competition, with less than 5% separating he first 6 pairs! The eventual winners were Martin Podmore & Geoff White , with Simon Lee & Jacqueline Archer hot on their heels in second place. In joint 3rd were Steve Jarvis & Mike Baker and Barry Thorne & Matt Greener followed by Tony Haworth & Dave Nicklin 5th. It was great to see seven tables in play, the most for this event since the good old pre-Covid days, including some new faces and some we haven't seen at area events for a while.We hope to see you all at Porthcawl!

WWBA Swiss Pairs Result

For the third successive year, our GP Swiss Pairs event was won by Kevin Maddox and Tony Haworth. They started well with two 20-0 wins and held on to the top spot for the rest of the day. The next 3 places went to Gwyn Davis & Sue Ingham, Tony Disley & Mia Deschepper, Steve Webb & Helen Houston. Although numbers were slightly down on last year, 20 pairs enjoyed a great competition, ably directed by Dave Nicklin. Thank you Dave and well done everyone.
