Our ♣ sparkles like a ♦, has a big ♥ and ♠♠♠ of bonhomie, boosted by beverage, biscuits, and banter before bridge begins.

Sessions held every Thursday at 7.00pm at the Coombes Community Centre, Burns Road, Royston.

The club has electronic scoring and computer-dealt hands so results and deals are available straight away.

Visitors are always welcome but need to come with a partner. If you are new to the area, use Find a Partner (Public) and the club will make every effort to provide a suitable partner for you.

Congratulations to Dave & Norma who came first this week with a score of 62%.

Two pairs bid the 6NT slam on board 8, but no-one found the best spot in 7♣ with a heart ruff providing that elusive thirteenth trick. 7NT also looks odds-on, but goes one down on best defence as the diamonds break 4-1 (assuming West hangs on to all four of them as declarer leads out his winners)!

Three Royston Pairs (Paul & Jules, Saroj & Alan and Brian & Valerie) entered the HBA Championship Pairs Semi Final played on RealBridge on Sunday.

Congratulations to Saroj & Alan who came 10th scoring almost 54% in a strong field of 31 pairs, with Jules & Paul also qualifying for the final, in 16th place.

The full results can be found on the HBA website in the usual way.
