The Morrinsville open restricted Swiss pairs was a very enjoyable event according to Pam Moore, who directed now that she is a NZB Tournament Director.  It went particularly well for Michele Liddle and Deslee Howell who finished 4th overall, which was very commendable in a 24 table field. Also well done to Steve Hunt and Els Cochrane who finished 6th and Joy and partner 9th.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon playing bridge against Te Awamutu, helped along by the miserable weather so there was no better place to be! It was wonderful having a proper competition with Te Awamutu, assisted by Waitomo, managed to field 12 pairs.  

Congratulations to Jo and Keira, Els and Kathy, Rob and Ian who led the field.

Cambridge achieved an average of 52%.

Enjoy the shield while we can! Fortune can turn quickly!

Michele Liddle and Desiree Howell who won best non-open pair coming 24/34 and beating a number of Open players. Well done to you!

Herman played well with Yuzhong and finished 5th.

Anna played with Michael Ware and came 6th

Joy and Richard also did themselves proud coming 8th=

Happy Days!

Great to see Lynette and Ian come second in Rotorua today among esteemed players, especially as they are representing Cambridge next weekend! Go the Bonds! 

Congratulations to Nandy Costa and Denise Whybrow who scored 56% both sessions to come second equal overall in the Waihi intermediate tournament today. Don MacPherson and Irenee Stewart also won a session prize for their score of 58% in the afternoon. 

For winning the Swiss Pairs at the Spa Town tournament yesterday by a country mile! Irenee and Don are a regular partnership so nice to see their hard work pay off.  Here they are being presented their prize by Richard Solomon. Also well done to Malcolm Kirkby and partner for coming third.
