Winners - Young Chelsea Purple - Chris Duckworth, Brian Callaghan, Will Roper, Niall Igoe, Margaret Nygren, Martin Nygren, Kath Stynes, Debbie Sandford. They will have the honour of representing London in the South-East Garden Cities Regional Final at Richmond Bridge Club on Sat May 7
A score that was incorrectly entered into the Bridgemate was drawn to our attention after the event, it has now been corrected. This has changed the final order of the teams, second and third swapping places, fourth and fifth swapping places. The revised scores are now posted (click on Results).
Results
LMBA apologises for the delay in the result of this event being uploaded correctly on this website.
The difficulty has arisen because the Teamscorer program used on the night seems reluctunt to display the results as a teams-of-eight rather than two separate
teams-of-four! Please note that the positions that were shown on Friday on this website were incorrect, as they reflected the scores only of half of each team. The
correct order is as now shown. Thank you for your patience with this!
