BRIDGE MATCH
DUNEDIN V. INVERCARGILL A bridge match was played on Saturday night at Invercargill between teams or four players representing the Dunedin Bridge Club and the Invercargill Club, at duplicate contract bridge. The match was played at the home of Mr F. Hall-Jones, where the visitors were hospitably entertained. The match ended in a win for Dunedin by the substantial margin of 4,300 points. The Dunedin players had the advantage of having played previously in a number of duplicate matches, and the obvious lack of this experience certainly affected the Invercargill team’s bidding. Thirty-two hands were played, but the hands were as a whole of a prosaic nature, and, there were no slam bids or even possible ones. . * This is probably the first intercity match that has been played in New Zealand, and it is hope.d that it will
be the forerunner of many future matches with other centres. Major Ashworth, of Christchurch, has invited a local team to visit Christchurch to try conclusions witli the best players there at an early date, and it Is hoped that a strong team will be available to go*
