The Jim McKenna Cup is a traveling award which each year goes to the Unit 359 member who wins the most aggregate Masterpoints in our two annual tournaments -- the Boulder Bonanza Spring Sectional and the Kay McKenna Boulder Fall Sectional.

The Cup was established by Kay McKenna in memory of her late husband Jim McKenna. Both McKennas were giants in Unit 359 bridge, being among our earliest Life Masters. Kay was in fact our Unit's very first Life Master. The "Kay McKenna Boulder Fall Sectional" tournament is named in Kay's honor -- she was a great supporter and benefactor of duplicate bridge in our area.

Unit 359 Board member and Treasurer Jim Hoerlein lapped the field to win the 2007 Cup. Here are details of Jim's victory (overall finishes only -- section and Swiss match awards not shown):
