A GREAT DAY FOR OXFORDSHIRE’S JUNIORS! - Saturday 6th March 2021

The 2021 Loughborough Schools Challenge took place on RealBridge this year.  Those of us who teach and work with junior bridge players missed the buzz and excitement of the annual junior get together at Loughborough Grammar School. However, the advantage of online bridge is that more teams could enter from around the UK, undeterred by travelling time and costs.

For the first time since 1966 Eton College won the prestigious Schools Cup sporting a team with two of Oxfordshire’s juniors, Henry Rose and Jacob Potter, both of whom started their bridge careers at the Oxford Junior Bridge Club and The Dragon School.

The team of Zoe Soonawalla, Freddie Beneat, Fin Sheedy and Jay Vyas came third out of sixteen teams entered for the Harry Scully Trophy, an award for teams with juniors from different schools. Zoe, Freddie and Fin all learned the game in Oxfordshire, at their schools and at the Oxford Junior Bridge Club.

Congratulations to them all and our thanks to Giorgio Provenza, who together with his small team, put on an excellent, smooth-running and efficient competition.

Junior update April 2018
Junior update April 2018

The, now annual, Wessex Youth weekend, jointly organised by OBA and GCBA, is a fantastic event and was held in April 2018. Cheltenham Ladies College and Bridge Club provide wonderful facilities. On the Saturday night the club and the youngsters play in the same duplicate session- 24 boards of approximately 10 tables of U20s and 10 of over 70s, followed by speedball 18 boards at 7.5 minutes per round! That's youth bridge.This years' youth event on Sunday was won jointly by the Potter brothers and Aidan Saunders(partnered by Roland Bourne Sussex) from Oxfordshire whilst the Saturday night winners were members of the U20 squad, beating some august members of Cheltenham BC.

Several of the youngsters from OJBC are now training with Giorgio Provenza's U16 squad, and an article from Holly will follow. Numbers playing in schools are slightly down, but the quality of play is increasing, and therefore more children are starting to play in our clubs..
