Eileen Harding Handicap Pairs Competition
This competition was held on 15th April and was won by Pat Owen and Jean Myles
Congratulations to Pat and Jean.
Pat and Jean came third overall on the night with a strong score of 64.9% which, after the handicaps were applied, was more than sufficient to overtake the first and second pairs Sue/Vicky and Richard/Ian who were both less favourably handicapped.
To see the full results without handicaps applied, look under the Results tab as normal. And to see the post-handicap results, along with each player’s handicap, follow the Eileen Harding 2025 link under the Competitions tab in the main Menu.
Robin Sutton Swiss Pairs Competition
This competition was held on 10th June, but unfortunately the scoring computer generated many bizarre results, so it was decided to nullify the competition results and to re-run the competition in August. Apologies to all who participated on 10th June.
This re-run Swiss Pairs competition was held on 19th August.
Congratulations to the winning pair, Sue Phillips and Patricia Williams.
The runners-up were jointly Richard and Ian, and Wendy and Claudia.
Sue and Pat won 4 of their 5 matches, losing only to Richard and Ian in Match 2.
Nesbitt Teams Competition
This competition was held on 15th July and was won by the team of Robert Barnett and Margaret Clark, Ray Elms and Ann-Marie Hickman with a healthy 32 IMPS. The runners up were Irene and Roger Button, David Sewell and Jean Raggett with 7 IMPS. All other teams had negative IMP values.
Marjorie Cox Pairs
This standard pairs competition was held on 16th September and was won by Irene and Roger Button with a healthy margin of almost 6 percentage points over Pat Owen and Jean Myles who came second.
