Lesley and Sonia excel in Tauranga

Lesley Quilty and Sonia Crawford teamed up with partners Tom Winiata and Tom Henwood to feature on the leaderboard at last weekend's 10A Teams event in Tauranga.

After 6 rounds, they were 3rd out of 32 teams which featured all the best playing combinations in the North Island (if not the country). Unfortunately an appeal at close of play on Sunday saw their team penalized 3 IMPS which saw them finish pool play in 5th place. Meaning they competed for the plate prize on the Monday. Another superb few sets saw their team take 2nd place in the plate (or 6th overall).

A great result in difficult company. It was also refreshing to see that although Sonia had played something approaching 150 boards of bridge over Sunday and Monday, she still managed to turn up to Monday night bridge in Matamata!

Apologies to Lesley - she also made it to bridge on Monday night!
