Report from Rodney Lighton - TD and Organiser

On a sunny Sunday 17th April, fifty backgammon players from London, the Midlands, Yorkshire, Scotland, Lancashire, Liverpool and Manchester gathered for the annual Manchester torunament.

The Manchester tournament has never been won by a regular club player from Manchester. This year we provided three semi-finalists in Irving Czechowicz, Kevin Jones and Rodney Lighton. The other semi-finalist was Dan Tutchings from Coventry. Dan played very well to fight back from 4-2 down against Rodney in the semi-final to win 7-4 and then dispatched Kevin Jones by a large margin in the final. Congratulations to Dan on his first major tournament win.

Meanwhile Brian Lever beat Tim Brown convincingly in the consolation final, while David Phillips beat Dorothy Lee in the Last Chance, to give Manchester two of the trophies.

In the one pointer Rachel Rhodes from Yorkshire beat David Wallbank from Preston.

Thanks as usual to Lorraine Lighton for the buffet tea, Alice Lighton and Susan Bourne for administration, Irving Czechowicz for directing and members of the Manchester club for help in setting up and to Manchester Bridge Club for hosting the event.

An enjoyable day was had by all and we hope to see them all back next year.
