Welcome to Cornwall Contract Bridge Association

HAROLD PAYNE TEAMS OF FOUR CHAMPIONSHIP

Eight teams contested our premier teams event on Sunday 16 March on the RealBridge platform. In a very close finish with the leading five teams all within seven victory points of each other, the victorious team was Rob Mabley (Paul Rundle, Geoff Smith, Rob Jones) with 83.68 VPs. Second was David Price (Jim Edwards, Mick Robson, Chris Bickerdike) with 81.5 VPs, and a tiny amount behind with 81.26 VPs was Judith Williams (Maureen Brinton, Heather Upton, Sheila Johnson).

The winners qualify to represent Cornwall in the national final, the Pachabo Cup, in mid June in Milton Keynes.  We wish them well in that. 

SWISS TEAMS

A Swiss Pairs event was held at Carnon Downs village hall on Sunday 9 February. A heartening 22 pairs, including many new faces, played 5 x 5 board rounds. Winners were Devon pair (we have a reciprocal arrangement that we can play in each others county events with the exception of national qualifying events) Jim Dunn and David Gribbins who won all their five matches and finished on an impressive 87 VPs well ahead of the rest of the field. Second - with another excellent result at county events this season - were Bill Thomson and Mike O'Neill. They also won all their five matches and finished on 73 VPs. In third equal place with 64 VPs - were Mick Robson and Jo Bryant with Bruce Coate-Bond and Christine Dean who came through the field with two 20-0 wins to finish with. Well done Bruce and Christine. 

JOHN PERKS PAIRS

Our premier pairs competition was played online on Sunday 5 January. A good turnout of 16 pairs played an all-play-all movement and the winners, who lead throughout the day, were Bill Thomson and Mike O'Neill with 59.7%. A big congratulations to them. Runners up with 58.3% were Mick Robson and Jo Bryant, with John Golding and Heather Holder-Powell third with 56.4%. These three pairs qualify to represent Cornwall in the Corwen Trophy - the two day national final again online at the end of May.
