Bridgesteddfod – for 2026 the Welsh Bridge Union has combined its five main National Competitions into a four day Festival of Bridge – “Bridgesteddfod” We are hoping that this will become an annual National event. The venue for this year’s Bridgesteddfod is Central Cardiff at the Holiday Inn. Each day there will be a main Green Pointed Championship tw-session event. Alongside that players who do not wish to compete in the main events will have the option of playing in one or both of two single session more relaxed social bridge events.
We really look forward to seeing you there! See details

Perry Shield and President's Cup 2026 Result

West Wales had an excellent weekend of Bridge at Newtown, playing teams from the other 3 areas. In the Perry shield a strong East Wales team were victorious, winning 7of their 9 matches, but the West Team of Kevin Madox, Simon Richards, Nick Forrest and Steve Jarvis won 6 matches and finished in second place.

The East also seemed to be heading for victory in the Presidents Cup but, with excellent results on the second day, the West team of Howard Goss, Rosie Preece , Nigel Astley and Matt Greener were victorious!

WWBA Inter Club Teams League

WWBA Inter Club League

This year's competition is now complete. In the final match Bridgend had a good win 13-7 VPs over the 'Outlaws' who nonetheless clung on to the lead with 107 VPs overall, Haverfordwest coming second with 95. The WWBA will donate to a charity chosen by the winners, whose photos we await for publication on the website (with their permission of course!). The organiser will seek opinions from the captains on how to make it easier to get eight people together for their matches next year. Meanwhile have a good summer break and we hope to see you at the John Isaac Pairs on Realbridge 21st June.
