| Teams of Four match with Bognor Bridge Club 17th June |
|
When the two clubs met on Wednesday 17 June, each club won two matches in the first half. And each club won two matches in the second half.
Bognor had a narrow win in overall Victory Points but some of the scores had not been checked fully at the tables so there is some uncertainty.
The three-table tournament for additional Chichester players also went well – although everyone needs to brush up their scoring skills (what would we do if the Bridge Mates broke down?!).
Everyone had a good time so we will look to hold a similar event again.
