Sunday February 23: Winners Starting to Emerge
(Source: Bulletin 3, Goald Coast Congress )
Two events have been run and won and we would like to laud the winners together with you. Firstly the Weekend Matchpoint Swiss Pairs was won by Adam Edgtton and Andy Hung. After being in front with three rounds to go they had to survive two bad matches and some fortunate results at other tables to emerge the winners and take home the $550 prize money which they assured me would not be used for partying – yeah sure guys!
The Second event completed on Sunday was the Rookie Pairs which saw an excellent turnout of thirteen tables. The winners North-South were Lucinda Gun & Christine Williams scoring 60.8% while East-West was won by Catherine Armstrong & Veronica Amerena scoring 63.8%. It must be great to be starting your bridge career and win an event like this – if only I could remember back that many years I also would be happy.
