The Orange Bridge Club recently held a most successful Valentine’s Day Team Event.

Players travelled from Dubbo, Wellington, Sydney and Bathurst to contest this competition in the recently refurbished clubhouse. Early in the day, the Britton team (Orange) made a flying start, leading the field until the third round when the Fitzgerald team, also from Orange, edged the Britton team out of first position until they were nudged out of first place by the Barker team (Orange).

Going into the final round, it was the McRae team (Orange) who had a convincing lead and they went on to become the winners on the day.

In second place were the Paterson team (Orange), who came from seventh position to second in the final round. Third place was taken out by the Perry team of Dubbo.

The convenor for the day was Des Mulcahy, who was pleased with the number of teams that entered for the event and said the day was ‘most successful and enjoyed by all.’

Special thanks to David Reddel for directing the day in a calm and competent manner.
