WWBA Inter Club League

This year's competition is now complete.  In the final match Bridgend had a good win 13-7 VPs over the 'Outlaws' who nonetheless clung on to the lead with 107 VPs overall, Haverfordwest coming second with 95.  The WWBA will donate to a charity chosen by the winners, whose photos we await for publication on the website (with their permission of course!).  The organiser will seek opinions from the captains on how to make it easier to get eight people together for their matches next year.  Meanwhile have a good summer break and we hope to see you at the John Isaac Pairs on Realbridge 21st June.

Congratulations to Mark Roderick and Paddy Murphy, winners of the 2026 John Isaac Pairs, which this year was played on RealBridge for the first time,

Perry Shield and Presidents Cup, Newtown 16th and 17th May

West Wales had an excellent weekend of Bridge at Newtown, playing teams  from the other 3 areas. In the Perry shield a strong East Wales team were victorious, winning 7of their 9 matches, but the West Team of Kevin Madox, Simon Richards, Nick Forrest and Steve Jarvis won 6 matches and finished in second place.

The East also seemed to be heading for victory in the Presidents Cup but, with excellent results on the second day, the West team (pictured above) of Howard Goss, Rosie Preece , Nigel Astley and Matt Greener were victorious!

2026 Mixed Pairs

Congratulations to Angela and Chris Overton, winners of the WWBA Mixed Pairs competition held at Bancyfelin.  It was another closely fought event, with Angela & Chris (pictured above holding the Ossie Evans Cup) eventually coming out just 0.35% ahead of Tony Disley & Mia Deschepper.  In 3rd place were Steve Webb & Helen Houston, followed by Steve Jarvis & Cindy Middleton 4th.  It was good to see table numbers up from the last couple of years.  Thank you Dave for organising and directing another successful event!
