Orbis Venice Cup The atmosphere was electric and with the Orbis Venice Cup title on the line,the players can be excused if the bridge was sometimes less than per- fect. In what was surely one of the most sensation- al finishes to a match ever, it was The Netherlands who triumphed by the incredible margin of just 0.5 of an IMP. We salute the new holders of the title, only the fourth nation to have its name engraved on the cup. Bep Vriend & Marijke van der Pas played on the losing team in Perth in 1989. Both were making their fourth appearance in the competition. Jet Pasman &. Anneke Simons,Wietske Van Zwol & Martine Verbeek were all appearing for the second time. Ed Franken, the Captain, and Chris Niemeijer, the coach, complete the winning squad. Commiserations to the losers, USA 1, Renee Mancuso, Jill Meyers, Randi Montin, Shawn The toast of The Netherlands the ORBIS Venice Cup Champions Quinn, Janice Molson, Tobi Sokolow, and NPC Jo Morse.
