Twenty-nine Mackay Contract Bridge players attended the 2022 Bowen Swiss Pairs last weekend, six of whom have only been playing one or two years. Veterans Monica Darley and Geoff Taylor came runner-up in the Open Section, followed closely by Max and Diane Holewa and Alan and Frances Brown.
Maria Setiyawan and Janelle Conroy were runner-up in the B Section.
Sandra Morris and Annie Lynch were winners in Section D.
Many new attending players gained lots of experience. Max and Diane Holewa were winners in the Bowen Special Walk-in East/West.
