County
Honour's Board
Manchester
became
an independent County on 1st April 1987. Prior to then
it was an area of the North West Contract Bridge
Association. The Ben Franks Trophy was an NWCBA event,
taken over by Manchester in 1987. The League, Cup,
Teams and Pairs events were area events which became County
events in 1987.

The
league has been run since 1938. Originally it was
played as separate divisions with teams allocated randomly
and a one day play off between division winners to decide
the title. Since 1959 the league has been run on a
traditional promotion and relegation basis between
divisions. The league cup is engraved with team names,
when it has not been engraved it has sometimes been possible
to find the winners from the Manchester Area minute book.
Unfortunately, in some seasons the AGM was held before the
league had been completed and the winners were not
recorded. The first table gives the league winners
from time immemorial, scroll down to the next tables for the
winners of lower divisions since 1999. A new first
division trophy for the league was obtained in memory of
Michael Newman in 2020.

Higson Cup
Roy Higson in whose memory the Cup was renamed in 2001
The
Infirmary Cup was donated in 1938 by R A White and T Gee.
The profits from the event originally went to the
Manchester Royal Infirmary (pre NHS). Before 1987 it
was a competition for Manchester and Bolton Areas within the
NWCBA, from 1987 it was a Manchester County event. In
2001 the event was renamed in memory of the late Roy Higson
and a new trophy was purchased. The Infirmary Cup was
engraved with the names of winners and in years where it was
not engraved it has usually been possible to obtain the team
name or members from the Manchester Area minute book.
The Cup has always been run as a series of knock out
rounds with a multi-team final towards the end of the
season. In 2020 the cup was run as a handicapped
event, the final being delayed until 2021 because of the
pandemic. From 2022 the event was handicapped.

The
plate competition was inaugurated in 1987 when the new
Manchester County was formed. It is an event for teams
knocked out in early rounds of the Cup. The format is
the same as for the cup, with teams playing a few rounds of
knock out followed by a multi-team final on the same date
and at the same venue as the Cup final. Originally
called the Infirmary Plate, in 2001 the event was renamed in
memory of the late Roy Higson and a new trophy was
purchased. Records for this event are complete, data
coming from the engraved trophy and Manchester
newsletters. From 2010 the Plate competition was
restricted to teams from Division 3 or below. In 2020
the plate was run as a handicapped event with the final
being delayed until 2021 because of the pandemic. In
2022 and 2023 the event was handicapped.

Bernard Goldenfield Congress Teams
The
Manchester Teams Trophy was presented by the Nahum family in
memory of Halford Nahum. It has been competed for
since 1954. Originally the teams event was part of the
Manchester weekend congress, then in 1963 the congress was
replaced by separate one day events for pairs and teams.
In 2000 the congress was restarted as a weekend event
and the teams event became part of the congress again.
Most of the data has come from the engraved trophy.
There are a few missing years when the trophy was not
engraved. In 2020 a new trophy was presented in memory
of Bernard Goldenfield and the event was renamed the Bernard
Goldenfield Congress Teams.

Manchester
Pairs
The
Manchester
Pairs Trophy was donated by M Miller and first competed
for in 1952. Like the Manchester Teams it has at
times been held as part of a weekend congress, then as a
one day event and since 2000 as part of a weekend
congress again. In 1960 the Indian national team
were on a tour of Europe and competed at the Manchester
Congress, one of their pairs winning the event.
Data for this event has been taken from the
engraved trophy and there are only a few missing years.
In 2012 a new trophy in memory of Michelle Brunner was
donated by Maureen Hiron, bridge correspondent of the
Independent.

Mixed Pairs
The
Mixed Pairs Event was started in 1987 when
Manchester became a separate county. This was
the very first event run by the new county and
internationals Tony Forrester and Sally Horton were
invited as guests accordingly. They won by a huge
margin. Entries were never very large for the
event and in 2000 it was incorporated into the new
Manchester congress, the title being awarded to the
highest placed mixed pair in the pairs event (who
hadn't won the main event). The trophy for
this event was originally the NW Mixed Pairs trophy
dating back to 1976. Data for this section has
been obtained from the trophy and newsletters and is
complete.

Trophy was donated by the Manchester Area and Joe
Lazarus in 1963 for a NWCBA pairs event in memory of
Ben Franks who was arguably Manchester's most
successful player in the early years of the county.

Cantor
Cup
The
Cantor
Cup was donated by the Cantor family in 1999 in memory
of Trudy and Oliver Cantor. It is a pairs event
competed for by non-expert pairs.
Oliver Cantor
died in 1983 and Trudy Cantor died in 1998. Both
were Manchester business people who played bridge.
Trudy, who became secretary of the Sale Bridge Club,
taught and ran bridge holidays for many people in the
area. Their three sons, Professor Brian, Martin
and Phil Cantor set up the Cantor Cup in 1998 in honour
of Trudy and Oliver, with a mission to encourage novice
Bridge players to experience tournament play. The
family made an endowment to provide the Cup and an
annual cash prize for the winners.

Merville
Goldstone
Trophy
Originally
the County Cup, it was renamed and a new trophy purchased in
memory of the association's first Chairman Merville
Goldstone in 2009. It is the Manchester qualifier for
the EBU's Pachabo event. In the first few years of the
county's existence it was run as a knock out event between
the top four eligible teams from the Infirmary Cup final.
Since then it has been a separate knock out event.
Results are complete. In 2006 the competition
was run as a point a board event otherwise it has been
IMPs. In 2020 the competition ran over two years
because of the COVID pandemic. In 2022 the final was
not played.
