2016 Wellington Inter-Provincial Teams
Wellington region won the Dougal McLean Inter-Provincial Championship Trophy, our second win after the initial win 9 years ago.
There is a very full report from Richard Solomon on the NZ Bridge site. Here you can find some history (our second win after the initial win 9 years ago), Dougal's home province (have a guess), some photos of our local stars (amongst others), detailed results, and even some hands.
Chef de Mission: Nigel Kearney
Open: Anthony Ker & Alan Grant, Kate Davies & John Patterson
Senior: Tony Lenart & Pat D’Arcy, Maureen Pratchett & Vivienne Cannell
Women: Mindy Wu & Sandra Coleman, Joan Waldvogel & Joan McCarthy
Intermediate: Sam Ward & Chris Collins, Nan Wehipeihana & Julia Barnett
All the Wellington teams started well. After seven matches the Intermediates had a big lead, the Seniors were close to first, with the Open and Women teams similarly well placed but slightly larger gaps to the first placed teams.
Day 2 started with mixed results and picked up later on. The Open team were undefeated, but didn't have the big wins against lower scoring teams that can lead to a big score. The Intermediate team had some losses, but also a big win that put them well ahead of the second team. The Women team won four out of five and were in the lead by a small margin from second and third. The Senior team had some small losses and only one win, but it was big enough so they managed to hold onto second place.
On the final day, there were some significant matches as the top teams were seeded to play each other last. The Intermediates had a big win over Auckland-Northland, which was relevant to our final placing. The Senior team had losses that dropped them down to a fifth placing. The Open team had some interesting tussles and went 17 VPS behind into the last match with Auckland-Northland. There were some big swings during the match, with a small win of 7 IMPs that wasn't enough to change the ranking.
Our Women went into the final 3 VPS ahead of Waikato-Bays, with Auckland-Northland poised to overtake from third. The team performed really well, bidding a Game missed at the other table and collecting majorly on three part score hands, to win by 19 IMPs.
At the end of the competition, Wellington had two 1sts, a 2nd and a 5th, compared to Auckland-Northland with two 1sts, a 2nd and a 6th.
The excellent administration by the Otago Club should be mentioned. We were welcomed as soon as we set foot in the door, each region had its own table with muffins, fruit and chocolates when we arrived, and replenished the next day. The food was plentiful and good, results were out quickly and also the datums. Everything ran like clockwork. There was a very good atmosphere.
