Congratulations to St Andrews members Cathy Ferguson, Bob McKinnon, Jack Shearer and Marc Shearer who represented Scottish Bridge and finished second.

Summer Success for Jack Shearer
Summer Success for Jack Shearer

Jack Shearer was selected to represent Scotland in the European U31 Youth Bridge Championships with his partner Niall Tennant in Riga, Latvia in July.

Jack and Niall also recently came first equal in the Scottish Men's Pairs. This is a superb result in such a prestigious event for a comparatively young pair.

They also won the Teams event (with Andrew Harborow and Tom Bagnall) and were 3rd in the Pairs Event at Kelso Congress earlier in the summer.
