It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of one of City of Derry's finest bridge players, Ted McQuilkin.  Ted joined City of Derry in 1950 and had been a member for 68 years.  As a card player he was ranked among the best, feared and admired by many.  He was a fierce competitor but always took time to support those less gifted.  

Ted played with his regular partner, Colette McCool since 1990 across Derry and Donegal, winning more cups than they could clean - although he was happy to sit opposite partners of all levels just for the fun of the game.

Ted will be fondly remembered by many and always known as the guy who would play "Eight nights a week".

Sincere sympathy to all his family at this very sad and difficult time.
