The Club’s championships for 2026 have been completed and continuing their apparent domination Val Heferen and Brian McCarney have won for the third year in succession.

Runners up were Kayleen Fergusson and Veronica Sullivan who came in just ahead of Robin and Wal Suttor.

This year was a very even result with the winners on 56.56% while 4^th place getters finished with 54.17%.

While I only have access to records since 1990 this years win brings Val’s successes to 13 with partners such as Margaret Geddes, Cathy Cox, Margaet Large, Guy Kemp, Jay Moore and now Brian.

Brian has had previous success with Barbara Green along with the current run with Val.

Early last century the custom was if you won a cup or shield three years in succession then you got to kept that trophy. Doesn’t apply these days

A big congratulations to all who qualified for the finals.

This years Green plate was disappointing in view of the small number who qualified for and participated.

Due to the falling numbers not only on Fridays but Mondays as well only two pairs in fact were left to contest this prestigious event. With this in mind an executive decision was made to go with the one winner.

Thus this years winners were Jay Moore and Anne Johnson from Patricia McDonald and Kay Wall.

Having said that they had to compete in a Howell movement involving 7 pairs. Thanks to those who did attend and allow for a competative play off.

Congratulations to Jay and Anne.

Again this year we saw a good sized field contest the Sparkes Cup with 6 tables all up.

Winners with virtually 7% margin were Val Heferen and Brian McCarney (current Club Champions).

Runners up were Greta Kroll and new comer Terry McMahon less than 1% ahead of Sandy Steele-Park and Lesley Robertson.

Rules for the trophy call for a Howell movement and with 6 full tables our Director Marelle Irvine was kept on her toes all morning.

Congratulations to our winners
