The prestigious Gold Cup, organised by Bridge Great Britain, has been won by Janet de Botton, Thor Erik Hoftaniska, Artur Malinowski, Tom Townsend, David Bakhshi & Thomas Charlsen (pictured).
They defeated Alexander Allfrey, Andrew Robson, Peter Crouch, Simon Cope, Espen Erichsen & Richard Plackett (picture) in the final played at the Young Chelsea BC this weekend. The defeated semi-finalists were the Penfold and Knottenbelt teams.
The Gold Cup provided the first scores in the EBU's Player of the Year Championship, so the de Botton team has taken an early lead. The next scoring event is the Premier League, with the third and final weekend taking place on 4-5 November.
