The ACBL recently held a Youth Event, the “Red Point Youth Valentine Pairs” on Saturday February 13th. Daque Davis, and Ahzjanai Smith played in that event. There were 7 tables. Daque and Ahzjanai came second east west with a 62% game. A wonderful result, as some of the pairs are very strong. 

Congratulations to Claude Guay and Sharon Shanahan, our 2020 Non Life Masters champions.  A very tight finish, with George Correia and Inger Mesna just one match point behind, and Des and Tracy Nash close on their heels in third place.  11 pairs competed through the two sessions, all fully masked - but we allowed the winners to emerge for the photo socially distanced from the rest of us as a special treat!

Congratulations to the team of Malcolm Moselely, Mark Stevens, Jane Gregory and Wenda Krupp, winners of the Junior Teams title for 2020.  Runners up were Jo-Ann Dawson, Julia Cook, Sharon Andrews, Carol Eastham and Nikki Boyce, with  the team of Tim Mardon, Jean Schilling, Stuart Clare and Sarah Bowers in third place.  Held over two Tuesday evenings, eight teams entered, several comprised of players who have only recently graduated from the Introductory Lessons - well done to all of them. 

Congratulations to Charles Hall and David Sykes, Open Pairs Champions for 2020.  After winning the first session, they maintained their good form taking joint second place in the afternoon match, ensuring their overall win.  They achieved a  two board margin over runners up Bill and Linda Pollett (second in the morning and joint second in the afternoon) and Margie Way and Misha Novakovic who placed third.    This was the first major event since the Club re-opened and thanks to all fourteen competing pairs for making the championship so successful while ensuring that we continued to remain safe at our Club through a long day of bridge.
