Oxon selection news - vs Gloucs and Worcs

On Tuesday, the Oxfordshire Bridge Association Selection committee met to select teams for the upcoming matches against Gloucestershire and Worcestershire.

The following pairs have been invited to represent Oxfordshire on this occasion:

Sunday May 18th vs Gloucestershire. Home - 2.30 start at the Oxford Bridge Club

A team

John Slater & Nelson Stephens
Nick Smith & Alan Wilson
Denis Talbot & Kathy Talbot
John Williams & Chris Wilson

B team
Chris Cooper (c) & Bryony Youngs
Andrew Lintott & Dinah Lintott*
Nathan Piper & Michael Robinson
Nick Percival-Price & Marian Day/Mike Goldsmith
*=Reserves for A

Reserves for B

Ed Jones & Luke Porter

C team

Ian Angus & Joe Clacey
Tim Dickinson & David Southcombe
Malcolm Currie & Jo Murray
Alasdair Gidman & Cathy Rowland

Reserves for C
Colin Jones + another
For the "another" - I have positive availabilities for Mike Brown, David Stead, Norman Gascoyne and Mike Webley. If any of these would be happy to step in as reserves if called on to play with Colin, it would be greatly appreciated.

For the match of July 13th - at home vs Worcestershire, the committee felt that it would be wise to wait for a while so that new members of the selection committee will be able to provide an ipnut and also so that results from the Gloucestershire match, various national events such as the Spring Fours and Bournmouth congress can be considered. However, of the available pairs, the intention is that the following 14 pairs will be invited to play (including two reserves pairs). These pairs are :

Ian Angus & Joe Clacey
Mike Brown & Clive Keep
David Bygott & Jeremy Bygott
Michael Clark & Luke Porter
Chris Cooper & Bryony Youngs
Simon Cope & Nathan Piper
Malcolm Currie & Jo Murray
Alastair Gidman & Chris Whitehouse
Lynne Hayes & Sandra Landy
Ed Jones & Andrew Murphy
Andrew Lintott & Dinah Lintott
Nick Smith & Alan Wilson
Nigel Wilkes & Mike Webley
John Williams & Chris Wilson

I'll circulate the actual line-ups for the match after the next selection committee which should be some time in June.
