Introducing our Open Team

Introducing our Open Team

Eight teams contested the Open Play-off in November last year and at the end of 6 days, the winning team was the four-person team of Peter Gill/Sartaj Hans and Nabil Edgtton/Andy Hung.  Bearing in mind that each match in the play-offs was 124 boards, it was very impressive to see a four-person team win the event.  The team augmented Liam Milne and Tony Nunn to complete their team.  Liam and Tony just had a warm-up in the VCC Wally Scott Open Pairs which they won convincingly, effectively leading from start to finish.  David Thompson has taken on the role of non-playing Captain.  The team is pictured below:

Bridge Base Online (BBO) will be broadcasting 4 matches in each round, we don't yet know when our Australian Teams will be featured. The first broadcast will be at 1.30 (AEST) tomorrow when only the Seniors will be playing.

All the best to all of our teams.
