Congratulations to the de Botton team (Janet de Botton, David Burn, Thor Erik Hoftaniska, Thomas Charlsen, Nick Sandqvist and Artur Malinowski) who have won the 2013 Schapiro Spring Foursomes. They trailed in both the semi-final and final by substantial margins but came back in both to win the cup, edging the Norwegian Tøndel team by 1 IMP and then Penfold by 16 IMPs.
Earlier Penfold beat Allfrey in the other semi-final by 59 IMPs after Allfrey claimed their extra 8 boards.
