On Sunday April 2 Hamilton hosts the Hamilton Restricted, an 8B tournament which is open to Pairs in any combination EXCEPT Open – Open players. The tournament is sponsored by URGE Tea & Coffee Boutique which is letting the Club offer an extended prize list due to this generous sponsorship. Prizes are waiting for the top pairs in each of the possible combinations – Junior/Open, Intermediate/Junior, Intermediate/Intermediate, Intermediate/Open & Junior/Junior along with usual top NS, EW & Overall so there are multiple ways to win a prize

Jane is again providing one of her excellent lunches so for $25 it’s a great day out with 2 sessions of bridge as a bonus !

The third and final round of the Charles Holland Goodwin Pairs will be decided here on Friday morning. Bridge can't can't get any closer than this - there is only 0.26% between the leaders Blair and Liz Fisher and Lindsay Reid and Ian Clayton in a big field of players. The current ladder can be found here

It's also exciting to see that that Liz and Michael Kelly have a handy lead in the Handicap event going into this Friday.

21 tables competed at Hamilton on Sunday in the opening round of the Waikato Area Pairs.

Congratulations to Diane & Jane for first place, Barry & Jenny for coming second and the Healy's in 5th place
