Winners Post Holiday 0-750 NLM Sectional
Winners Post Holiday 0-750 NLM Sectional

On December 27 Harrisburg Bridge Club held a Post Holiday 0-750 Non-Life Master Sectional. A delicious lunch was provided before play and there was a great turnout of 12 1/2 tables in the first session and 10 in the second session. Unbelievably, the same 2 pairs won both sessions, not an easy feat to accomplish! The North/South and East/West winners are pictured above from left to right Jerry Skurcenski playing with Darius Kapadia, and Karen Gayman playing with Kathy Gallagher. Cheers to them!
