12 pairs competed for the 2018 Non Life Masters title. Defending champions Kathy Keane and Mike Viotti got away to a strong start, pulling away from the field and winning the first session comfortably, but a strong fightback in the afternoon by a number of pairs including Ellen Davidson and Tyler Irby (a relative newcomer through the schools programme) brought us to the last two board round with less than 3 matchpoints separating the first and fourth places.
When the dust settled, however, Kathy and Mike had held on to become 2018 champions, with Ellen and Tyler a creditable second fractionally ahead of Ruby Douglas and Delton Outerbridge in third place. Well done all.
