Metro North Interclub Teams 2025


The annual Margaret Smale Metro North Interclub Teams event on Sunday was won by East Lindfield. The event was held this year at our East Lindfield clubrooms, as last year's winner - Peninsula - were in the midst of having their clubrooms renovated.

Six clubs contested the 2025 event - Trumps (TRU), Peninsula (PEN), Manly (MAN), Harbord Diggers (HAR) and two sets of teams from our club - NSBC and East Lindfield (EL). They were divided into four sections based on the average Masterpoints of each team.
- Division A - OPEN
- Division B - INTERMEDIATE (under 750 Masterpoints)
- Division C - RESTRICTED (under 300 Masterpoints)
- Division D - NOVICE (under 100 Masterpoints)
There were a total of 30 teams competing from the 6 clubs.
The scoring was the normal IMPs/VPs. To determine the winning club at the end of the event, the top 4 placed clubs in the OPEN and RESTRICTED were awarded 4, 3, 2, 1 points, while the top 3 placed clubs in the INTERMEDIATE and NOVICE were awarded 3, 2, 1 points to produce a final total for each club.
Many thanks to our Director Alan Bustany who ensured a smooth running of the event.
Thanks also to Sue Crompton and her many helpers who delivered an excellent lunch as well as snacks throughout the day.
