2017 Camrose: The Republic of Ireland is leading

Leggi in italiano »

The Camrose Trophy (Home International Series), is the yearly championship between the five countries of the British Isles: England, Wales, Ireland, North Ireland, Scotland; it takes place in two complete round robins, each by 32 board matches, to be played in two week-ends. The country which hosts the second week-end has the right to line up a second team; this is to avoid the bye. The second week-end is being played in Scotland, at Holyday Inn, in Edinburgh, therefore there is a second Scottish Team, the Scottish Bridge Union (SBU).

There have been seventy-three editions of the event, since the first one in 1937. England won fifty-one times, Scotland twelve, Republic of Ireland six, Wales once, and Northern Ireland none.

The first week-end matches were played in January at the Mercure Brandon Hall Hotel and Spa Warwickshire. This was the standing:
