The top 14 pairs contested the final with Peter Richmond and Roger Allison winning the trophy and Paul Roberts and Julian Merrill coming second.
The remaining 18 pairs contested a consolation final session which was won by Ian Blackhurst and Peter Sumption with Brian Crawford and Frank McAleavy coming second.
The Club's President, David Smith, is seen here presenting the prizes (and, of course, the trophy) to all those named above.

Congratulations to the winner, Phil Nuttall seen holding the Trophy, and to Martin Booth who was 2nd and Joan Webb who was 3rd.

We were part of EBU's Festival of Bridge |
Our regular Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday sessions in the week w/c 9 September were part of EBU's Festival of Bridge (BRIDGE IT'S A BIG DEAL) which was in aid of Cancer Research UK. Deva Bridge Club has now paid £425 to the charity this amount being the table money collected (£4 in club and $4.50 on BBO) less the normal UMS paid to EBU and BBO's share. EBU are also donating the UMS to the charity which (thanks to those who played in those sessions) means we raised £491 in total. In total the Festival has (as of Sept 29) raised over £80,000. Not bad hey!
