South Hams Swiss Teams - 11 October 2015

Published October 2015

The South Hams Swiss Teams was held on Sunday 11th October at Thurlestone, and again attracted a capacity entry of 20 teams. The competition ran smoothly thanks to the excellent management of the event by Don Pearson as non-playing director, and as usual the catering was of the highest standard. The event now meets all expectations for a major tournament with blue points, pre-dealt hands with hand records, and bridgemates. Overall winners were the team of Steve Dooley, Ian Dalrymple, Bill Ellis and Ian Walsh (top picture). Mike Hamon, chairman of the DBA presented the prizes, including one to his own team as runner-up! The non-expert prize was awarded to the team of Ann Cripps, Bridget Kirke, Anthea Proctor and Carol Sutcliffe (bottom picture) who achieved 9th place. The non-expert category being a team with average NGS grade of less than 50.
