Habs regain Schools Cup

On Saturday 10 March, Habs sent four bridge teams to the Schools Cup in Loughborough. Habs’ winning run of seven years was ended last year by Westminster and our A team (Jack, Kavinthan, Senthur and Ben) were keen to regain the trophy.

After comfortably negotiating the qualifier, we played Reading School in the semi-finals. A narrow win put us into the final against Westminster. In a tense final we led most of the way, but fell behind for the first time with just one hand to go. However, we won the last hand to win the match and the Schools Cup.

Jack becomes the first person in the history of the competition to be part of four winning teams.

Our B team of Aniket, Mikeet, Daniel and Yasinthan also made the semi-finals, eventually finishing third. Congratulations to all involved.
