2010 Ashenheim Cup - Duplicate Team Event
The team of Rex James, Judy Ziadie, Trevor Jones, Charles Williams and Calvin Wong although second to Wayne Chai Chong, Michael Coore, Carl Lee and Lynford Tai Hue after the first round of the Ashenheim Cup, claimed the lead at the end of round 2 and were not headed again for the initial five rounds of the tournament. Their final tally of 101 points came from winning three rounds and being second in the other two.

The Winston Chin You, Audley Astwood, Marlene Fulford, Monica Cools-Lartigue team lost their head-to-head to the winners by 4 points (8 imps) in round 1 but played unbeaten thereafter to take a comfortable second spot with 89 points and will have another go at the leaders when these top two finishers meet in the finals on a date to be announced - probably after Easter. The Rex James team will carry over 4 imps (i.e. half the winning margin when these two teams met in round 1) to the final.
