Trumps proved victorious at Peninsula Bridge Club on Sunday 29 September in a closely fought battle for the Metro North Interclub Pairs Challenge, a few points ahead of Peninsula Bridge Club, with North Shore, Balgowlah-Dee Why and Manly Leagues filling out the remaining positions.
The event saw 72 pairs represent these five major clubs, the largest field ever for this event with its 36 tables somewhat higher than the three tables in the first time this event was run in 2008. Peninsula and the event organisers, led by convenor Cath Whiddon, were applauded for hosting a great event. Thanks to our volunteers who did not play and gave up their time to make it a great day: Bill, Joan, Bob and Andrew, also to Gayle who organised the catering.
For the first time we played a barometer movement thanks to the work of director, Ronnie Ng, well suited to the four 9 table fields used. These were broadly determined by average masterpoints of the pairs entered with some minor adjustments in the middle two fields to ensure that at least two pairs from each club were in each field.
Check the full results of each of the four fields, and the club results tally - the top half of each field earned points for their club, 9 for the first pair down to 1 point for the 9th pair.
