Congratulations
The Seniors and Youth Interstate Teams Selection Events were a success
Following
the Interstate Selection Trials of the Open Team and Women's Team, we
had a busy weekend of 16th – 17th May to select the NSW Seniors Teams
and Youth Teams.
19 seniors pairs were playing against each
other in a 2 day event to qualify themselves to represent the
NSW Seniors Teams in the Australian National Championships in
Fremantle, Perth in July. The top three pairs were also selected on
Sunday in the Youth Interstate Team Trials to represent the state in the
ANC.
Congratulations to all our teams, and we're sure they will do us proud in Fremantle!
Rakesh Kumar,
one of our seniors players in the event, reports directly from the
field and shares some challenging hands with us. You don't want to miss
his humorous analysis! Matthew McManus, our Chief Tournament Director, tells you how to avoid the "Nothing to think about" scenario.
And feel like joining the field to have the first hand experience in
the next congress? Check out our upcoming events in June!
