De Botton team stays ahead in Premier League
The second weekend of the Premier League has taken place in Coventry with the De Botton staying in first place in the First Division.
The team of Janet de Botton, Espen Erichsen, Glyn Liggins, Artur Malinowski, Nick Sandqvist & Tom Townsend only won four of their seven matches, but scored sufficient to stay on top of the table, albeit by a smaller margin. They are now 7.25 VPs ahead of the Mossop team (David Mossop, Jason Hackett, Justin Hackett, Alex Hydes, David Price, Colin Simpson).
The Second Division is being led by Paul Hackett, Ollie Burgess, John Hassett, Jeff Morris, Alan Mould, & John Sansom. They were just 2 VPs ahead after the first weekend, but stretched their lead to 21.34 VPs over the Ewart team.
The competition concludes this weekend: the First Division on 6th-7th November, the Second Division on 7th-8th. First Division matches will be be shown on Bridge Base Online. The winners of the First Division will earn selection to represent England in one weekend of the 2016 Camrose Trophy series, and the European Champions’ Cup 2016 if England qualifies.
