Peninsula Bridge Club hosted the Metro North Interclub Pairs on Sunday 27 Sep with 116 players across four fields: U15, U100, U300 and Open. It was held online on BBO this year, with Ronnie Ng and Alan Bustany as our directors.
Three regional clubs, North Shore Bridge Club, Trumps Bridge Centre and ourselves, entered full fields, with an additional two pairs from Narrabeen RSL and Killara Bridge Clubs joining Trumps to balance the numbers from these three. Successes were varied across the four fields:
- A Peninsula pair (Ruth Buchanan and Jan Grant) won the U15 field but overall North Shore pipped us (10.5 to our 10) due to their dominance of the minor placings
- North Shore dominated the U100 field but Peninsula's Simon Hunter and Bronwyn Neal were second placed
- Peninsula's David Burton and Margaret Stanton won the U300 field but Trumps dominated this field
- Trumps also dominated the Open field but Peninsula's Alan Davies and Vivien Eldridge were second placed
Congratulations to North Shore Bridge Club who won the 2020 Interclub Pairs convincingly with 52 points to Trumps on 37.5 and Peninsula on 32.5. Check the full club results, and you will be able to check the board by board results also in due course. You can also see the photos uploaded by some of the players at the event, including the photo of one of our members, Robin Devries.
Thanks to our hardworking directors and the coordinating players/captains from each of the clubs.
