Congratulations to Franco & Helen Carlotti who we are pleased to announce won this competition on the 15th Oct 2025. Congratulations to you both.
Congratulations also go the Linda & Paul Hoptroff for their second place position.
This was the first running of the competition in the new format as a handicapped pairs event, no longer an individual Ladies only handicap event.
Both sets of results are available on the results tab on the club Bridgewebs site, both with and without the handicap applied. The results go to the EBU without handicap for Master & Points and NGS ranking.
