BRIDGE NEWS FROM THE LMBA 2003 The Harry Scully Trophy In the Swiss Teams at the Young Bridge Challenge 2003, the Harry Scully Trophy was retained by the West of England Bridge Club. The team this year comprised three members of the current English Under-20 squad who pivoted to each play in turn with their captain, 9-year old London Member, Arthur Wolstenholme. Arthur thus set a very hard-to-beat record for the youngest ever winner of a national competition.  L to R Sarah Pinchbeck, Arthur Wolstenholme, John Atthey, Ian Green.
