Marlborough players dominate

Megan Leov Reporter from Marlborough Express

Marlborough pairs filled three of the top four places at the Hello World Swiss Pairs bridge tournament held in Richmond on Saturday.

Carolyn Wood and Robin Young from the Blenheim-based Marlborough club won the event closely followed by club-mates Maurice Carter and Tony Oberdries.

Brother and sister combination Chris Marshall and Lynn Callaghan from Picton finished fourth after being in close contention through the day.

Marlborough clubs were not so successful in the annual Howorth Cup interclub event held on Sunday. Marlborough finished fourth in the event. Nelson were the winners with defending champions Westport in second place. Richmond finished third.

SharpAs Tool Tips
I’ll be at today’s Marlborough Farmers' Market from 3–6pm — a great last chance to get your knives sharpened before a busy Christmas Day.
If you have knives, tools, or other items that need sharpening, come along to the special Farmers’ Market today.

Please note: aside from the statutory days, I’ll still be open.
Cheers,
Ron
