2016

Congratulations to our winners, by 1 point: Karen, Barbara, Sue and Jaquie (Team 4), and our gallant runners-up Mervyn, Liz, Anabel and Irene (Team 1).

Commiserations to those teams who were out of luck this time. I hope you persevere - you all did better than your hosts (Clare and myself) who played in the same event a few years ago and, if memory serves, got a 
minus score against every other team. Fortunately the county website has changed so I can no longer find those results and now we have collected too many Master Points to play as novices.

One hand that caught my eye was board 7: Only one pair bid a slam, and made it. Well done - actually the only slam by anyone. The computer says it goes down - but only if East leads the D7, and only if West realises it could be a singleton and leads a Diamond back. As almost all declarers made 12 tricks that obviously was not a popular choice!

Finally, I am not sure why the top 4 teams were the ones with no team name. For the winners, I would suggest "McGunner Gals" for next time. Many thanks to all for making it such an enjoyable afternoon. Yes, I did have to score everything all over again when I got home!
