A Winning Partnership

Susan Yvonne and RossPutaruru Bridge Club players, Ross and Susan Provan were successful in the first round of Waikato Bays Intermediate Bridge League hosted magnificently by Taupo this weekend. Competing against fifty-six players from across the Waikato Bays Region, they won their own section, the Diamonds and are presently lying joint fifth overall on the ladder with an average after two sessions, of 55.03%. The Intermediate Championship League is an annual event, organised by Waikato Bays Regional Committee to find the best Intermediate grade pair who at the end of the season receives the large Championship trophy and a cash prize. The competition is based on collecting points at each of the eight tournaments. It is not necessary to win to be awarded points. Prizes go to the top ten players with the most points at the end of the year. The eight tournaments are held in different venues across the region, the next tournament will be hosted by Katikati Bridge Club, on Sunday 19th May. These events are great fun and players meet and form lasting friendships, come along Waikato Intermediates and join them at the next venue in May.
