Bridge Schools Cup Winners

 

On Saturday 7 March, Habs sent three teams of four bridge players to the Schools Cup. After finding a late replacement through illness and some traffic, the teams arrived slightly late and had no time to settle, but Habs A team which included Kavinthan, Aniket, Ben and James, remained calm and proceeded serenely through the qualifier to the semi-final. A comfortable victory over St. Paul’s meant the team met last year’s winners, Loughborough, in the final.

 

In the first hand, Loughborough took an early lead, but the boys remained calm and focused. They played some outstanding bridge to come from 0-10 down to win 38-10.

 

This is the ninth win in eleven years for Habs. Ben and Kavinthan were also in the last team which won the competition two years ago.

 

The boys in all the teams thoroughly enjoyed the day.
