Once again the traditional season opener between the North & the South proved popular, despite the weather forecast with 55 players registering for the competition at Perth PC on 6th April.  The players were divided into 10 teams on each side and 5 rounds were played.  The results were as follows:

Round 1 – South 5 – North 5 (5-5)

Round 2 – South 4 – North 6 (9-11)

Round 3 – South 7 – North 3 (16-14)

Round 4 – South 6 – North 4 (22-18)

Round 5 – South 4 – North 6 (26-24)

So, in the end a narrow win for the South.  Particular mention goes to Paul Bretenoux and Stephane Maurage who were the only team to remain undefeated.

The next SPA event is Grand Prix 1 on Sunday 27th April at Fochabers PC (registration 9.00 – 9.15 sharp for 9.30 start).
