Big congratulations to Marge Way and Misha Novakovic who are the 2022 Bridge Club Open Pairs champions after a dramatic and wafer-thin victory over Ed Betteto and David Sykes in second and Elizabeth McKee and Linda Pollett in third. The margin of vi...

The fall tournament season gets under way today with the Open Championship taking place this morning and afternoon at the Bermuda Bridge Club – players are starting to return to the live games and hopefully the turnout will signal that things are on ...

Last week was STAC week in Bermuda where players earn extra master points of higher levels and compete not only in the local field but also against the other pairs in District 2. The week saw some excellent results for the locals in the bigger Distri...
