| ROYSTON BRIDGE CLUB - Competitive yet Friendly |
 Our ♣ sparkles like a ♦, has a big ♥ and ♠♠♠ of bonhomie, boosted by beverage, biscuits, and banter before bridge begins.
Sessions held every Thursday at 7.00pm at the Coombes Community Centre, Burns Road, Royston.
The club has electronic scoring and computer-dealt hands so results and deals are available straight away.
Visitors are always welcome but need to come with a partner. If you are new to the area, use Find a Partner (Public) and the club will make every effort to provide a suitable partner for you.

| HBA Club Winners Cup 9th November |
Congratulations to Saroj & Alan for winning the HBA Club Winners Cup for Royston, the second HBA trophy the pair has won in as many months, and the second time the club has won this trophy (Royston's previous win was in 2015). Saroj & Alan scored 62% with a storming second half performance, coming from "nowhere" (relatively speaking) to pip several other pairs and take top spot on the very last board.
Somewhat mixed fortunes for the other Royston pair, Andy & Dave, who were punching well above their weight for most of the tournament, only to fall away on the last couple of rounds, finishing sixth with a score of 56%. But as they say, "it's not how you start, it's how you finish!"
Full results can be found on the HBA website.
