and across multiple formats
Match Pointed Pairs, XIMPs, Swiss Pairs, Teams-of-4, Teams-of-8 (6 Yorkshire League Teams)
We also provide many excellent options for learning
both full courses and pay-as-you-go (topic-based) lessons for
Beginners, Improvers and those at Intermediate levels ... right up to our Advanced Seminar series
as well as free lessons and play for younger/youth players via our Youth Academy

| Yorkshire Qualify for Tollemache Final |

Yorkshire qualify for Tollemache Final
York players well represented!
For the first time since 2016, Yorkshire have reached the final of the Tollemache Cup, the EBU’s premier competition for Teams of 8 representing counties.
Four players from York were in the team
Frank Dixon, Paul Brereton, David Waxman and Richard Pike
30 counties entered the qualifying competition played over the weekend of 8th and 9th November. Yorkshire got off to a fast start defeating one of the strongest teams, Kent by 18–2. They then went on to win seven of the eight matches played on Saturday, and at the end of the day they were lying second.
On Sunday Yorkshire had one win and two 10–10 draws from six matches but never looked in danger of losing second place, and after the two days they finished second, 14 points clear of the third placed team.
A massive congratulation to the whole team on a fantastic achievement and good luck in the final to be played in Cambridge over the weekend of 31st January and 1st February.
