Congratulations this year go to the pair of Maureen Wright and Barbara Green
Following a disappointing number of participants the field for the final was a good strong group including a number of new pairings.
Maureen and Barbara finished just ahead of the pairing of Sandy Capper and Marelle Irvine while Robin and Wal Suttor were hot on their heels.
Maureen and Barbara have been a formidable pairing in recent years not just with the club but also at Congress events. It is a similar situation with Sandra and Marelle who have tasted good success this year in both club events and SWP and AWP events.
In conjunction with the club championships the consolation trophy was run for the Green Plate Trophies.
Winning pair North/South were Barbara and Key Wall while the winners East/West were Cherie Edwards and Anne Watts.
Any consolation event is always keenly contested and this year was no different. The addition of a number of pairs who could not compete in the preliminary round added to the keen competition for these trophies.
Congratulations to both pairs on their impressive victories.
2023 saw the largest field for many years in this prestigious event.
The winners, Sandra Capper and Marelle Irvine are not new to success in this event.
Sandra first won in 2004 with Yvonne Kelly and again in 2009, 2016, 2017 and 2020 with Maureen Wright.
Marelle tasted success with Patricia Vetter in 2018 and in 2021 with Barbara Green.
Runners up were Richard and Ruth Arnott who just edged out Brian McCarney and Val Heferen.
Congratulations
