2019 – Butler Winners
Tom Paske’s Lederer debut must be one of the most successful: his team (Allfrey) wins the whole thing and he and Ed win the Butlers. Well done!
* I think Ed Jones has only appeared once before. So pretty good showing by him too.
2019 – Ireland Second

Allfrey Win 2019 Lederer
Final scores still being totted up but Allfrey have won after leading for most of the event. More anon…
Best Last Hand Ever
Both Allfrey tables played in 3 diamonds. But only Zia-Bilde as defenders actually made 9 tricks on the hand. It didn’t affect Allfrey’s win but was quite an amusing finish.
We had over 1,000 BBO kibitzers watching the winners play the last match. Many thanks to the Vugraph operators for their help!
Allfrey 26 VPs Ahead after 8
Allfrey are 26 VPs ahead. With 50 VPs available for a match it would need a big win for de Botton currently second (against Black) and a loss for Allfrey (against Zia) to change things. Ireland now in third.
