County Teams
Dawes League v Staffs (15th March 2023)

Thank you to those who turned out to represent Oxfordshire against Gloucestershire today. The results are both on the EBU website and also on the OBA one for those brave enough to look.

On the whole it was a disappointing set of results which were as follows:  A Team lost 6-14,   B Team lost 7-13, C Team lost 5-15

These results are roughly in keeping with the England rugby this weekend, although the A team took an early lead and I believe were leading into the final set. The B Team were also level at half time.

 

There are two highlights which I should draw to your attention. The first is that the C Team have won the Markham Division and congratulations are due to all those who have played this season. Today's was the only defeat, and it is very pleasing to be able to select so many good players from a such a healthy squad.

The second highlight is to mention that Lawrence and Yining topped the x-imps averaging a positive score of 1.39 per board. This would be less remarkable if it were not against a series of international players who represent Gloucestershire and that Gloucestershire have won the Dawes League this season - so well done to them. Oxfordshire Bridge needs people like Lawrence and Yining!

 

There will now be some respite until the MCOL picks up again in September. Please don't forget to practise being nice to your partner over the summer so that we are ready to launch in the new season.

                Matthew Covill. 

Dawes League v Staffs (15th February 2023)

The results from today were as follows:    A Team lost 9-11,   B Team lost 9-11,  C Team won 15-5

Congratulations to the C Team on being unbeaten this season and securing another win today. It sets up a good position for the final game of the season against Gloucestershire.

Congratulations to the following four pairs for heading the x-imp leader board:   Christopher and Mary-Ann, Amr and Martin, Alison and Robert, Charlie and Ewa

Dawes League v Staffs (15th January 2023)

Ignoring my individual performance, today was a good day for Oxfordshire Bridge. The results were as follows:

    A Team won 13-7,    B Team won 14-6,    C Team won 12-8         See write up of a 4S hand by Alan Wilson 

Thanks to all those playing and congratulations for the wins. In a feat of modernisation, the results and hands are posted on the OBA website.  The results have also been uploaded to the EBU website, but other counties may not be so quick!  The next match will be against Warwickshire on 12th February 2023. The selectors will aim to get together to make the team selection for that match shortly.   Matthew Covill. 

Dawes League v Notts (11th December 2022)

Thanks to those who turned out to play for Oxfordshire against Nottinghamshire today in fairly frosty conditions. The results were:

    A Team 14-6,    B Team 14-6,    C Team 18-2

So congratulations to all the teams on healthy wins, the C Team result just that bit healthier than the other two. The next match will be against Staffs on 15th January 2023. The selectors will aim to get together to make the team selection for that match shortly.   Matthew Covill. 

Dawes League v Gloc (14 January 2024)

It was a good day for OBA. The A Team won 15-5. The B Team won 19-1 subject to an appeal. And the C Team lost 16-4 (which was unexpected).

Chris has produced this MATCH REPORT. Thank you to those who have submitted hands of interest.

The current position with two matches to go is that OBA leads in the Dawes and Porter competitions and lies third in the Markham. A good position.

Dawes League v Worcestershire (11 February 2024)

The A Team lost 5-15. The B Team won 17-3. And the C Team lost 6-14.
