Sam & Jo at the Cambridge SixesSam & Jo at the Cambridge SixesFor a second time since arriving in the region Sam and Jo Simpson of Tauranga have come top of the knock-out Rubber Bridge competition. They will go forward to the final stage at the National Congress on Friday 27th September. It's been a busy, and rewarding, week for Sam and Jo as, after taking second prize in the Cambridge Sixes Trivia, they also won the Hamilton 3-nighter 5A Swiss on Wednesday to make all their traveling worth while. They are certainly very keen on their bridge! Both have recently made the grade to Silver Grand Master.

Both sides report the final vs Brian Gallaher and Brian Sullivan of the Waikato club was an exciting match. This hoot of a report from one of the players:

Herman and Yuzhong (file photo)Herman and Yuzhong (file photo)Thirty Pairs played in the sixth and final round of the Waikato Area Pairs at Hamilton on Sunday 4th August. Winners on the day were Ian and Cynthia Clayton edging Barry Jones and Jenny Millington. Third-placed Herman Yuan played with Jeffrey Chang who was subbing for Yuzhong Chen who was off chasing glory at the North Island Pairs in Wellington (came 17th, apparently). With a 30 point lead in the competition Yuzhong could feel fairly comfortable with being elsewhere. And so it came to pass. Herman and Yuzhong victorious followed at a distance by WAPs co-ordinator Anna Kalma playing with Noel Grigg followed by wine and pizza for all at the end of the WAPs for 2019.
