English Open Manchester One Day - 25th April Despite Manchester's
best attempts we couldn't win all the events. As (too) often
seems to happen a Liverpool player won the main event.
Congratulations to Adrian Jones who beat Birmingham's Matthew Fisher in
the final, with Manchester's Brian Lever and Paul Harper losing
semi-finalists. The remainder of the trophies, however, went to
Manchester players. Peter Snape beat Michael Horne in a very
close consolation final and Rodney Lighton won the Last Chance against
Dorothy Lee. The one pointer went to Irving Czechowicz who beat
Neil Everitt.
The event followed its usual format. An initial entry of 42 players competed (slightly down on previous years). Five rounds of five point matches were played in a Swiss format. Those with four or five wins qualified for the main final together with 8 of 13 who scored three points. The remaining 26 players went into a consolation final. Those who lost early in the main or consolation got entries to the Last Chance. Everyone
enjoyed the day. Lots of backgammon and copious amounts of
food. As usal thanks to all who helped to make the event run
smoothly. Susan Bourne for taking entries and running the
finances, Irving for directing. Annette Jones for scoring.
Lorraine Lighton for the buffet tea and scoring. Various
Manchester club members for helping to set up the tables.
Manchester Bridge Club and Jeff Morris for hosting the event.
Irving Wins at BIBA Congratulations to Irving Czechowicz, winner of the Last Chance at the British Open at BIBA in April.  Irving and Stuart Mann |
