Simonses are simply stunning

Jo and Jim rewrote the records on Wednesday February 4 when they achieved the highest percentage result since Southam records began.

The pair were the first ever to score more than 80 per cent, beating Peter Marriott and the late Brian Eaton's previous record of 74.38%, achieved before such scores were preserved on our website.

Here is the Simons' fantastic scorecard, showing eight out of nine successive maximums.

Why not follow their success by testing your skills against theirs?  Click on results in the left-hand column (not below), then 4 February, click on their name at the top of the results table, then any of the hands numbered 1 to 18 at the top right, then on Play.   

They just keep getting better

Congratulations to three of our pairs who achieved their highest-ever scores during 2025, with Diana and John Wright leading the way with a massive 73.96% on 7 May.  Anne and John Pritchard clocked up a mighty 69.53 on 5 March and Elizabeth Barker and Peter Marriott set off the fireworks on the Fifth of November with 67.71.

Fliss Hall and Rob Small recorded the highest average score for the full year by a considerable margin with just over 57%, while Ros and Tony Reeves brought home the most slams, eight, a strike rate of nearly one in four appearances. Can anyone be bold enough to beat that in 2026?
