Congratulations to the aptly named Bridger team (John Bridger, Annelie Kachelhofer, Prue Gillespie, Esther Goosen) from Bloemfontein on winning the 2024 Bedford Teams tournament, pipping the Ponting Team (Toni Ponting, Ros Hulley-Miller, Sue Prior and Sugar Rhodes) from the Lowveld by fractions of a percent. The more local Patensie Team came third. David Girdwood and his committee, as well as tournament director Clive Harrison from St Francis Bay, are to be congratulated on an extremely efficiently run event with amazing, mouth watering catering between sessions.
