The 'A' team moved into third place with their win over Doncaster however they are well behind the leaders and have a lot to make up in the final two fixtures. The 'B' team maintained their 100% record and lead their division by 2VP. A last day showdown with Keighley is looming and will likely decide the title.

Despite their win, the 'C' team remain in the relegation zone. The 'D' team still wallow in mid table after a home loss to Brighouse.

Our 'E' team lie third after their win and are hot on the heel of the team in second spot. The 'F' team remain in the doldrums after a heavy defeat.

Full league tables can be viewed on the YCBA website.

One of our promising younger members, Rhys Munden, has won this trophy for the second successive year. The 17 year old's latest success came in partnership with Jack Simm from Harrogate.

Our congratulations go to Rhys on an excellent achievement. It is refreshing to have amongst our members someone who doesn't fall into the average age group of about 160!

The Ladies Teams was won by Georgina Wooler, Anna Marie Scherson, Sandra Andrews and Olga Bartram. They finished on +75i.m.p., comfortably ahead of Sue logan, Wendy McLean, Magaret Dixon and Janice Brear in second spot.

In the Mens event Tony McNiff, Bill Townsend, Stuart Davies and George Bak triumphed on +85i.m.p., which left them out of sight of all comers with Richard Winter, Giles Foster, Bob Ross and Derek Markham having the only other plus score in second place with +5i.m.p.

Well done to our two new sets of champions.

This event was held over three sessions in Bradford Bridge Club. Thirty eight pairs from throughout the county contested the trophy. Club members Bill Townsend and Tony McNiff ran out clear winners on a 59% score.

Congratulations to our successful duo.

Congratulations to Stuart Davies on his victory in the Club Individual Championship. He finished a clear winner in this test of the ability to adapt to constantly changing personalities on the other side of the table.

Taking second spot was our secretary, Susan Hoyle and trailing her in joint third place were Pauline Middleton and Jaqui Hutchinson.

A good return from the latest series of matches with four wins and a draw from six attempts. League positions have not varied significantly and can be viewed on the YCBA website.

Please note that with effect from 19th January 2012, the Thursday afternoon bridge drives will commence at 13:00 hours instead of 13:30. The majority of attendees felt that this will allow an earlier finish which would be an advantage during winter months and allow travel during daylight hours.

The club will be open as normal up until and including Friday 23rd December. We will be closed from Saturday 24th December until Tuesday 27th December inclusive and will reopen on Wednesday 28th December. The club will be closed on 1st January 2012 and our nornal schedule resumes from 2nd January onwards.

A field day for club members in this county event. Three quarters of the winning team, Sue Logan, Tony McNiff and Bill Townsend, were club members and they were joined by Nick Woolven of Leeds. They finished on 93 i.m.p. squeezing home by a 2 i.m.p. margin from four more club members, Gill Copeland, George Bak, Stuart Davies and Steve Blackburn.

A good day was completed when a team including Sue Pell took third spot some way back on 61 i.m.p

Well done to all concerned.

Congratulations to Anna Marie Scherson and Ian Foote who won this event with a 63% score. Second spot went to Sue Logan and Bill Townsend on 60% and Liz Wickens and Harry Hoyle took third place not far behind.

Well done.

A second successive draw for the 'A' team keeps them in second spot in Division 1 but sees them lose more ground to the leaders. The 'B' team continue their rich run of form with a maximum at Malton which increases their lead at the top of their division.

Elsewhere it was all doom and gloom with four convincing defeats for the rest of the teams. 'C' and 'F' are now firmly rooted at the bottom of their league, 'D' have dropped into the bottom half and 'E' have slipped from a promotion position in Division 10.

Here's hoping a diet of turkey and Christmas Pud will help refuel the batteries for the second half of the campaign after the festive break.

Congratulations to Yorkshire on winning their qualifying heat and progressing to the final of this national inter-county competition.

Playing their part in the county team were Bradford members Sarah Teshome, Richard Winter, Tony McNiff, Bill Townsend and Phil Godfrey.

Best of luck in the final! (February 11th/12th 2012)

A disappointing draw for the 'A' team leaves them in second place in division 1 but they trail Sheffield 'A' by a big margin. The huge win for our 'B' team leaves them leading their division but only by 3VP.

The 'C' team's draw at Wetherby leaves them in the relegation zone :-(  The 'D' team's narrow win takes them to second place in their section and holds promise for promotion.

Likewise the 'E' team occupy second spot in their league after the home victory over Doncaster. The 'F' side had a disaster in their match and also languish in the second bottom slot in their division.

All in all a mixed bag this time out.

Congratulations to Delys Wallace & Sue Sheldrick who won this competition. The worthy winners left the matter in no doubt by winning before and after the handicaps were applied.

The dynamic combo fiished well clear of Liz Wickens & Harry Hoyle who took second spot and Gill Copeland & George Bak who finished third.

Well done.

Scores from Sunday's matches :
 

An excellent start to the season with only our 'C' and 'F' teams failing to record a victory. The 'E' team managed a maximum in their match and the 'B' team overcame a number of call offs to make a good start in their division.

Well done to the winners and to the others - Come on!
