Under 26 Australian Team NPC: Mike Doecke!

Mike Doecke named Non-Playing Captain for the 2026 Australian Under 26 Bridge Team!

Mike’s back, baby.

Fresh off captaining the bronze-medal-winning Australian Open Team at the 2025 Championships in Hefei, Mike returns to the captain’s chair with the full package: elite bridge brain, proven leadership, and the superpower of already knowing his way around Hefei for this year's youth transnats.

The Under 26s couldn’t be in better hands. Congratulations Mike — Hefei clearly liked you the first time, so you’re going back for an encore.
