Brian Senior

Brian R. Senior (born 1953) is a professional bridge player and writer from Nottingham.[1] He has represented Great Britain, England, Northern Ireland and Ireland in international competition and has won all the major English Bridge Union teams competitions.[2] Senior is also the editor and publisher of the annual official world championship book, under World Bridge Federation auspices.[when?]

Senior played once in the World Team Olympiad, on the Ireland open team in 1988, which finished 15–16th in a field of 56.[3]

Asked to name the bridge success "closest to your heart" in April 2014, Senior recalled one of the few Camrose Trophy match wins for Northern Ireland against England—but he has since played one of the few match losses for England against Northern Ireland.[2]

Since 23 August 2019, Senior has been Saturday bridge columnist for The Daily Telegraph.
