Essex County matches - end of year results
Congratulations to the Essex teams. The final table shows:

Division 1 Essex were clear winners having won every match with an average of 76%.

Division 2 Essex were 2nd behind Herts who won by more than a match.

Division 3 Essex were 4th, but showed considerable resilience after a poor start.

Margaret Curtis International

The Essex Bridge Academy organises the fortnightly Essex International Pairs as part of its training and coaching portfolio.  The Academy was able to set-up these sessions without charging players because of a generous bequest from the late Margaret Curtis. Our International Pairs has proven to be a popular and challenging event and continues to be free to players who meet the admission criteria. Consequently, invitations to join our Wednesday evenings, and the session links, can only be issued by the organisers in Essex.

All current players continue to be welcomed. If you wish to invite other players, please email Marc (marc.chawner@aol.com) first to confirm eligibility.
