Peninsula subsidised 2 pairs to attend the State Mixed Pairs at the NSWBA.
Alan Davies and Vivien Eldridge and Anne Small and Hans van Weeren played in the qualifier on Saturday in a very tough field. Only the top 7 in each direction (N/S and E/W) make the final and neither pair made it.
The Swiss Pairs on Sunday was open to all who did not qualify as well as anyone else who chose to attend. Ado Hardy and Derek Tyms from Peninsula won the Swiss Pairs in what was also a very competitive field. This is a great achievement and they should be congratulated.
PBC players should remember this next year. Everyone is welcome on the Sunday and it is great experience to play against players from all over NSW.
