Women’s Hour

Thanks in no small measure to the unstinting efforts of Mary Kelly-Rogers, BBO welcomed around 1000 entries to the week long 32nd WBF Women’s Online Festival. A blistering finish saw Ireland’s Deirdre O’Halloran playing under the BBO username Madra1, overtake the long time leader, Russia’s Kate Osipova, securing for herself and a partner of her choice entry to the Women’s Pairs Championship at the WBF World Bridge Series 2026, in Katowice, Poland.
