Indonesia fields 10 teams in Macau

JAKARTA (JP): Ten teams totaling 54 competitors, the biggest bridge contingent ever sent abroad, left here for Macau via Hong Kong yesterday for the Asia-Pacific Bridge Federation Congress in Macau from May 17 to May 25.

Chairman of the Indonesian Contract Bridge Association Wiranto expressed his hope that the team will be able to match the achievements at the Far East Bridge Federation Congress in Hong Kong four years ago.

In the Hong Kong tournament in 1992, Indonesia won three titles from the men's team, the ladies' team and the open pair events.

China, Chinese Taipei, Japan and Hong Kong are the teams Indonesia will have to face which could pose threats to Indonesia's bid to repeat its Hong Kong success. (yan)
