It was 4th time lucky for Hoi-Ming Chan, who partnered with Leigh Matheson and finished 3rd in the 2008 NSW Youth Team Selection. Ming has finished 4th three years in a row, congratulations on finally making the team.

This year Hoi-Ming Chan and Leigh Matheson qualified to the playoff to the Australian U26 team in the 2008 Youth Bridge Week tournament in Canberra (January 2008). They finished 5th (top 3 head off to Beijing later this year to compete for Australia). The week was a big success, as always. Everyone involved had a most enjoyable experience, with several SUBC members winning prizes in side events.

Well done to William Nui and Hoi-Ming Chan , who won the consolation pairs at 2007 Youth Bridge Week tournament in Canberra.

Congratulations to Stephen Barkby-Sean Roffey, who teamed up with John Hornibrook-Orlando Wu to achieve second place in the 2006 NSW Youth Teams (December 3, 2006).
Further congratulations to Cathy Hui-Helena Canaris who teamed up with Leigh Matheson-Alexander Cook to finish just behind them in 3rd place. This team overcame a particularly bad start and won the last set of boards by a maximum score of 25 VP's to achieve this result.
All of the above players won bridge books donated by postfree bridge books: www.postfree.cc

A good time was had by all at the 2006 Youth Triathlon (September 23-24, 2006). This year was the first time this event was run simultaneously in NSW and SA and the scores combined.

Congratulations to Hoi-Ming Chan, William Niu and Thomas Lam, who together with team captain Richard Jedrychowski won the 2006 Teams of Three (June 4, 2006)
