Boot camps - Marc Chawner
Boot camps - Marc Chawner

 

Following the Boot Camps Marc Chawner has now produced three guides; Defence, Play in a No Trump contract and Play in a Suit contract 

 

Most of the best players in Essex were set the task of playing the hands in each category -  not always successfully.

 

See if you can do better, if not with Marc's hands maybe the next time you play at the club.

 

 Download the PDFs Defence, No trumpSuit contracts

They will give you everything you could ever want to know!

 

Once again the ECBA would like to express their sincere gratitude to Marc for this formidable work.

Essex County matches

The last round of County matches was played over the weekend with a magnificent 14-6 win by the 'A' team over Hertfordshire, the league champions.

This enabled the Essex team to finish a very creditable third position in the Eastern Counties league.

Not such good results for the 'B' and 'C' teams who lost 18-2 and 14-6 respectively, however, they finished in very creditable positions of 3rd and 4th in their respective divisions.
