INTERNATIONAL GOLD

Huge congratulations to Bertie on a fantastic performance for England in the European On-line Youth Team Championships.

Have qualified from a challenging round-robin, the U-16 team won their quarter-final and their semi-final (by 1 IMP!) against higher-seeded teams.

They led for most of the final, with their opponents, top-seeded Poland, just managing to level the scores on the last board.

Poland were initially declared winners, due to having been placed higher than England in the round robin. However, this way of splitting the tie had been chosen at short notice and poorly communicated. So, the European Bridge League decided it was only fair to award both finalists gold medals.

This meant that England finished the tournament with gold medals in the U-16, U-21 and U31 categories and a bronze medal for the U-26 team. Not too shabby!

Well played Bertie!

😊
