Novice bridge championship

Ms Elaine Hume, Mr Peter Hume, Mr Alan Jones, Ms Claire Wild and Mr Ron Meaney have taken out the Brisbane Water Bridge Club Novice Teams Championship.

In two weeks of competition, they secured the championship with an undefeated final week.

In the first week, the competition was wide open, with all teams suffering losses.

Ms Kathryn Ivits, Ms Alma Van Der Walt, Ms Trish Byrnes, and Mr Matthew Lynch were runners up.

They finished ahead of Ms Edith Marshall, Ms Wendy Potts, Ms Ann Snow and Mr Christopher Spikesman.

Mr Hume said: "While it's good to play in open competitions, being matched with players of similar skills and ability gives us all a better chance to truly assess where we are with our game compared to our peers."
