| Chester Bowl |
The 2020 Chester Bowl was held on BBO on Sunday 18th October. There were 29 pairs and a partial Howell movement was played, 18 2-board rounds with a break in the middle.
Congratulations to the winners John Currie and Rodney Lighton who on 65% were well ahead of runners up Jullian Merrill and Paul Roberts on 62%. In third place were Sue Woodcock and Stuart Clarke on 59%. There was no presentation this year, but the Bowl will have the winners names engraved on it as usual and, hopefully, we can all see it next year.
The full results with hands and play can be seen by clicking here. The tournament director on the day was Sarah Amos, EBU National Director.
The event raised an estimated £350 for Cheshire West Citizen’s Advice, the President's charity for 2020/21.
