The UHMP competition for players with fewer than 100 master points is a State-wide competition which is promoted by the Australian Bridge Federation.
It involves play on four club days leading up to a finals day which was held late last year.
The competition is scored in separate divisions dependent on the total number of master points held by each player.
This year in the under 99.99 division Barbara Williams and Geoff Unsworth took out second place.
The under 24.99 division was topped by Edward Gao and Morgan Gao, our youngest member at only 13 years. Edward and Morgan also won the complete competition over all divisions.
