Congratulations to Rob Mabley, Rob Jones, Penny Foulds and Paul Rundle on their victory in this multiple teams event on 6 September. They won 10 of their 14 matches scoring +113 IMPs. 

This one day national pairs event for players with no higher than a 9 NGS ranking on 1 January, was played on 30 May and won by Henry Gompertz and Neil Harris with 60.75%, over 1% more than the second placed pair, and earning them 4.0 green points. Many congratulations to them.

This is only the second year the event has been run. Last year, another Cornish pair, Maureen Brinton and Judith Williams also won the event. We may not have any superstar Grand Masters in Cornwall, but we certainly have a hard core of very competitive players who can more than hold their own out of county.

Gillian Swann and Sylvia Smith from Liskeard finished a very creditable 13th out of 55 pairs finishing with 54.6% and winning 1.14 green points.

There are currently nine bridge clubs in Cornwall that are affiliated to the English Bridge Union (EBU). They meet either online or face-to-face or both on a variety of weekday evenings.
