The team of Alan Bannatyne, Johnny Baker, Richard Bayley, and Jane Bryden-Brown (henceforth to be known as "The Bees") clinched the 2025 Mixed Swiss Teams tournament by the tightest of margins in the Long Room at Lord's on 5th October. After six matches of seven boards, they ended up with 79.62 VPs, beating Russell Tenzer, Gary Diamond, Trevor Morris, and Vanessa Clarke by just over one VP. They in turn pipped the third placed team by less than half a VP. As always, a very special day of bridge for all 25 teams, admirably run by Jonathan Lillycrop and Victor Lesk. We look forward to seeing even more of you at next year's event. Click here to see the full results.
