Country Final

The State Open Teams Country Final was held at the Tamworth Bridge Club on Saturday-Sunday 28-29 October.

The Central Coast Bridge Club was represented by Colin and Wendy Mitchell, Lorraine Harkness and Jack Lindsay. The team got off to a good start on Saturday by beating the Tamworth team of Sharon and Greg Mayo, Michael Johnson and David Cohen and continued their good form by winning the remaining five matches on the day.

The team did not perform so well on Sunday (perhaps because they went to the fiftieth birthday party of Michael Johnson on Saturday evening!), drawing one match and narrowly losing two matches. However the results in other matches were 'benevolent' and the team won with 164 VPs from a possible 225.

The Ballina team of Helen and Pater Tootell, John Paynter and Judy Forsyth came second with 157 VPs. The Tamworth team and another Ballina team (Lyn Arnett, Mike Gilfoyle, Paul Cruikshank and Winston Guymer) came equal third with 155 VPs.

The Central Coast  team will be presented with the Betty Hill Perpetual Trophy and will represent the country in the final series of the State Open Teams at the NSWBA on December 8-10.

*The Betty Hill Perpetual Trophy has been established in recognition of Betty Hill's generosity to the bridge players of New South Wales - Regional areas.
