March Team wins Silver Plate

The Silver Plate, the consolation event for the Gold Cup, has been won by the March team.

The Silver Plate is for English or Welsh teams defeated in either the first or second round of the Gold Cup. Scotland has a separate consolation event, the winners of which drop into the Silver Plate at the quarter-final stage.

The 2019 Silver Plate involved 68 teams. The final, played yesterday at Leicester Bridge Club was between the two English teams. The March team (pictured, left to right) of Damian Hassan, Val Gibson, Julian Gibson & Bill March beat the Swanson team of Charles Chisnall, Ken Ford, Bob James & Ian Swanson by 44 IMPs.
