Tournament Success

Congratulations Kathy and Ken Yule who along with Grant Jarvis and Jan Alabaster, were the winners of the two day South Island Teams held over the weekend in Christchurch. A 20A event, this attracted all the big names of bridge from across New Zealand.

The Yule team had just one loss from their 8 matches and held the top spot (or close to it) for most of the weekend. They ended up with a very comfortable win by 12 Victory Points (or VPS) with 120 VPs total (or a good old fashioned walloping as one commentator called it!)

Meanwhile all those unable to travel to South Island made do with a day out at Cambridge to contest the first of the Waikato Area Pairs. A great field of 21 tables turned up with the top pair being Jenna and Christine Gibbons of Waikato/Te Puke.

We also had some good local successes with Sonia Crawford and Lesley Quilty winning the morning session and coming fourth overall. Anna and Jacob Kalma came 9th and Tim Rigter and Rochelle van Heuven had a great afternoon session to take 14th spot.
