  Northern Bridge League 2026

The Northern Bridge League 2026
An opportunity to represent your Association.

Organiser: Nigel Durie ndurie@yahoo.co.uk

A reminder about the Northern Bridge League for previous players, and an opportunity for others to get involved, particularly Inter Club League players. 
To be considered for selection for any of the 2026 matches, please complete the form below by 31st May.

The matches will be played online on the RealBridge platform on:

- Saturday 11th July

- Saturday 15th August

- Saturday 12th September

- Saturday 17th October

For each match, the schedule will be:

- logon from 10:00 to sit at your home tables and test sound and vision work

- play 2x8 board matches from 10:30-about 12:30

- lunch break for 45 minutes

- play 3x8 board matches from 13:15-about 16: 45

Up until now we have only entered a team in Division B but Marion would be delighted to enter teams in Div A or Div C. If you play in the ICL why not enter?

Division A will play with screens with verbal explanations of all calls to the opponent on your side of the screen(the only person you can see).

Division B & C will play without screens with alerts and announcements of partner`s calls as per Face-to-Face bridge.
