AGE is no barrier for veteran Stroud Bridge Club duo Emily Say and Sandy Fotheringham.

The pair formed a bridge-playing partnership within the last twelve months and scooped the recent Winter Pairs Cup.

Club spokesperson Nigel Pitel said: “Sandy started teaching the game at Stroud College and taught the game to several of our current players. Emily moved to Stroud fairly recently but like Sandy, she plays with great skill, charm, and good humour.”
