Sedentary sport spectacular
A tense Saturday afternoon of card play crowned the resurgence of IC Bridge Club. ICBC has come second for the past 2 years in the annual London intercollegiate teams competition, The Chelsea Cup, making victory this year especially sweet. Congratulations to the first team of Dom ‘the Bat’ Goodwin, Joynur ‘Planet’ Rahman, Brian Wong and Mark ‘Zebby’ Schaffer, who beat LSE 1. by 21 VPs over 12 rounds.
This success is a sign of the strength of the whole club, not just our top players. IC’s bridge club is now more active than any other college’s, fielding 5 of the 13 teams competing in this event. For the uninitiated of you, bridge is nothing to do with old ladies’ tea parties and everything to do with skill, judgement, beer and merriment (not necessarily in that order). Anyone interested in this socially vibrant club - come along to the Clubs Committee Room on the top floor of the union building 6pm any Tuesday night, or contact g.cope@ic.ac.uk for details. Beginners are always made welcome.
Finally, a special mention for the 5th team, who whopped the 4ths in every way (except in the beer stakes after the match...)
