European University Championships

Winning English TeamThe winners of the 2003 Portland Bowl from Warwick University came 6th in the European Universities Championship in Poland from 26 - 30 July.
The team members pictured above are:
Leigh Chapman, Dave Cropper, Ben Cowling and Sarah Whitehead
The daily Bulletin from the event says:

Ever since the European University championships started, the British, later the English have sent to them the winning team of their national University Championships. This year the English Bridge Union has again sent the winning team.. Whereas previously the English teams were either from Oxford or Cambridge, this year Warwick University near Birmingham ran away with the title, beating Durham university in the final.
Let's meet them:
Leigh Chapman, Sarah Whitehead and Dave Cropper all study Maths, and Ben Cowling tries telling them Statistics is not just Maths. Leigh and Dave can't get enough Bridge, it seems. When they return home they will be playing over 100 boards at the English trials starting this Friday. Then a few days later they will be playing 9 days in a row at the summer nationals. Sarah and Ben seem to think that 5 days Bridge here is quite enough for them… how strange!
