On 14^th Septenber 2024, HIWCBA entered a team of 8 into each of the 3 divisions of the Metropolitan Cup – and all 3 teams finished in the top 3 of their divisions. Special congratulations to the B team (Stephen Scott & Mike Kinsey, Lilias Lamont & Tim Smith, Stuart Burnett & Dominic Cooke, Michael Yeo & Stevie Parker) who won the B division. The A team (James Bond & Gabriel Hearst, Nigel Dent & Chun Yin Kam, Eleanor Rice & Stuart Strachan, Karen Dewar & Adrian Fontes) and the C team (Guy Malcolm & Hugh Merry, Rick Assad & Dennis Adams, Andrew & Mary Ferguson, Andrew Fry & Phil Brown) finished third in their divisions. In the B division, with only one result outstanding (board 49 Kent vs Sussex), HIWCBA were tied first with Kent – and board 49 was only a part score board. However this was teams of 8, not teams of 4, and Kent managed to lose 10 imps on that board to drop a VP and leave HIWCBA B clear winners. Click on team names to see  full results for each division
