| Inter-School Tournament |
Inter-School Tournament
Another hugely successful Inter-School Tournament took place at Stamford Bridge Club on Friday 21st June 2019. There were 100 children taking part in this event from 12 different schools either from Northamptonshire or Lincolnshire. Prizes were awarded to the winning students and the participating schools by Donna Wright, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of English Bridge Education and Development (EBED). Thanks go to Liz Dale, her team of buddies and the committee at Stamford for another tremendous achievement.
Lincolnshire county player and U26 England squad member, Aaron Hutton, assisted at the event with his team-mate Kripa Panchagnula recollecting: "It was a wonderful event, with 7 tables of bridge and 18 tables of minibridge. It was great to help ensure the event ran smoothly and I enjoyed watching the children try to decide how to bid and how to play their contract. The children had a break half-way through, in which they were excitedly comparing their results trying to work out who had more plus scores. The event also allowed the helpers and Alan Shillitoe to spot potential talent which they can try to push forward, some of which I heard have been invited to U16 training sessions. My personal favourite moment was when I saw a young girl finesse the T with KJ96 opposite Q8, which worked out perfectly on the hand."
