Cambridge Bridge Club’s annual Cambridge Sixes tournament  this month was a triumph for the club and great fun for the 204 participating players who made the most of this year’s ‘Sport’ dress-up theme.

Thirty-four teams from around the region took part in the event, which was held at Lake Karāpiro’s Don Rowlands Centre under the directorship of Hawke’s Bay-based chief directors at New Zealand Bridge, Caroline and Murray Wiggins.

The winning dress-up team was the ‘Fisher Folk’ from Matamata, with ‘In Sync’ coming in second.  Another Matamata team, ‘The Bowlers’, came first in the Trivia Quiz segment, with the composite team ‘The Referees’ – most of them coming from Te Awamutu – taking second place.

In terms of competition, the overall team winners were the Hamilton team, the ‘Soccer Fans’, hotly followed by second-place getters, ‘In Sync’.
