Lederer Trophy

Black Adders retain the lead overnight – nearly half a match ahead of Team de Botton in second. Gillis drop a place to third but still very much in contention.

We have a new leader! After the fourth match Black Adders with a good lead over Gillis in second. Holders Ireland go back up a place into third.

The Lederer is hosted every year at the RAC (Royal Automobile Club) and every year there is a different Motor of Note down in the foyer. I’m not much of a petrolhead but this gleaming loveliness is worth a post.

Gillis back in the lead after match 3. Black Adders now in second after a big win over Ireland. Periculo still third – just ahead of the holders.

Ireland take the lead after Match 2. Gillis still in touch in second. Periculo a bit further back in third.

Gills take an early lead after a big win over Team Rosen. Periculo second, de Botton third. (TD tells me these results are somewhat provisional – I’ll update if there’s a change.)

Event organiser Victor Lesk and TD Vigfús Pálsson welcome players to Lederer 2026.

Will it be three years in a row for Ireland or a new winner in 2026? Ireland are kicking off their campaign against the Norwegian Women. Now live on BBO!

Well done to Team Harris who were in contention for most of the event and eventually took second place.

Well done to Espen Erichsen and Artur Malinowski who had a monster last match and topped the Butlers (by a smidgen).
