Congratulations to Diana Nettleton, winner of the Pairs Player of the Year Championship for 2025/26.
The Championship awards points for finishing in the top positions of all EBU national face-to-face pairs events that have no entry restrictions - i.e. not NGS-limited, not county-representative, not master-point restricted, not events that require qualification via advance heats. Nettleton topped the table with 157 points after scoring highly in the Eastbourne Summer Meeting, Year End Congress, Harrogate Congress, Easter Congress London, Spring Bank Holiday Congress and Scarborough Congress.
