Championship Teams

The Championship Teams competition and the associated Plate event for teams who lose their first match in the main competition have recently been completed.

The main event was won by Julian Mitchell's team, with Peter Clinch, Andy Ryder, Mike Allen, David Dickson and Matt Read who defeated the holders, Nick Goddard's team, in the Final by 73 imps over 64 boards.  For the winners this was their third win in the competition in the last 8 seasons.  The Plate competition was won by David Telfer's team, with Peter Burns and Alan and James Hobden who defeated Peter Rowell's team by 45 imps over 32 boards in the Final.

Congratulations to both winning teams.  The next season of this competition will start in November, with the entry form available on this website from early October.  New teams are always welcome to join the event.

Please contact organiser David Galpin if you would like any further information.

Sussex Green-Pointed Swiss Pairs

Congratulations to Rob Zijlstra and Ravi Athwal who won the Green-Pointed Swiss Pairs at Patcham on Sunday July 26th.  Well done also to runners-up David Dawson and David Norman (who left before the winners were announced) and Rachel Allison and Laurence Satow who were 3rd.

The event was very successful with 20 full tables, perfectly directed by EBU Panel Tournament Director Mick Green. (N.B.  Following an appeal, there has been a small adjustment to one score.)

And, if you enjoyed playing in this Green Point event, you might also like to play in the joint Sussex/Kent Green Point weekend (both pairs and teams) on October 24th/25th at Tunbridge Wells!

Exactly one month after the Sussex Green-Pointed Swiss Pairs, there's the popular and friendly

Blue-Pointed Midweek Swiss Pairs
Henfield Hall
Wednesday August 26th at 10:30am

This is another county event which uses the popular Swiss format so you'll always be playing against pairs who are on a similar score to you.  You also get enhanced master points which are always nice.

The entry fee of £20 per player includes a Ploughman's lunch of your choice, tea and biscuits.

See how to enter.  If you have any questions, please email Organiser Peter Clinch or ring him on 07515 333539.

Worthing Venture Pairs

It was a very pleasant and relaxed afternoon in the Sussex Venture Pairs at Worthing on Sunday July 19th.

Congratulations to winners Angela Neale and Neil Fairburn and well done to joint runners-up Denise Ireland & Jan Adams and Laurence Chiswell & Debbie Hildick-Smirh.

Thank-you to Alexa Baxter for directing and for keeping all running smoothly.  Thanks to the Worthing ladies for producing a delicious afternoon tea that was thoroughly enjoyed.

Congratulations to everyone for making the event so enjoyable.
