The 2014 Open Teams Championship was held on Wednesday May 14 and Friday May 16. The event was won by Tony Saunders, Charles Hall, John Burville and David Cordon. In 2nd place was Vera Petty, Roman Smolski, Marge Way and Misha Novakovic. 3rd place went to Sheena Rayner, Gertie Barker, Jane Smith and Alan Douglas.
Of the winners, it is worth noting that Tony Saunders won his first Open Championship back in the 1960 era and is still winning. John Burville and David Cordon won this event last year. For Charles Hall, this is the second Open Championship that he has won this year (he also won the Mixed Pairs).
7 teams entered the event which was superbly run by Director Jack Rhind. He even set up the second session so that duplicated boards were played with hand records. We would like to encourage more junior teams to enter this event in the future. The experience gained would be priceless.
