It was a great way to spend a Sunday, playing the next round of the WAPs in Te Awamutu.

Well done to Helen Rinaldi and Catherine Cameron who came 2nd overall.  However the real standout result goes to Else Cochrane (junior) and Mathew Chestnut (new intermediate) who came 2nd in the morning and 3rd overall after a very solid day of bridge - ahead of open players Mike and Kevin as well as Joy and Clare who respectively finished 4th and 5th overall.

Well done to everyone who took part, especially to  Judith Howard and Nick Saunders who came 4th and fifth place winners, Irenee and Don McPherson.

Congratulations to our new Monday Night Club Champions, Clare Coles and Kevin Whyte. 

Clare and Kevin were well-deserved winners, taking the lead on the second night and maintaining an unassailable advantage through to the finish. A fantastic performance throughout the competition—very well deserved!

Congratulations also to Richard Solomon and Anna Kalma, who finished in a well-earned second place.

Well done to all who took part and thank you for another great competition.

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!
