Bowen Bridge Club Ladies Shine at Prestigious Gold Coast Congress

After a month-long break over the festive season, the Bowen Bridge Club was back in full swing. To start off the year, six ladies from the Bowen Bridge Club travelled to the Gold Coast to compete in one of Australia’s most prestigious bridge tournaments.

Held at the Gold Coast Congress Centre, the international bridge tournament brought together 2,000 competitors from 11 countries. Including our ladies and many other Australians from across the states and territories. The week-long competition saw some impressive performances from the Bowen players, highlighted by several strong finishes and even a few wins.

Sue McInnes and Debbie Breeze won one session in the Restricted Section E, finishing 4th overall out of 80 teams in the final. Thea Weekes and Lydie Martin also had a successful run, winning a session in the Restricted Section D and placing 9th overall out of 80. To round off the Bowen success, Jill Brabon and Beverley Lawcock placed 3rd in their section of 75 teams.

Congratulations to all the Bowen players for their remarkable achievements in such a competitive bridge field! Their hard work and dedication to the game truly paid off.
