Peter Bond Trophy - A Great First Round Win For Us Against Saham Toney! (Copy)

A great performance and win by Dereham Bridge Club against strong opposition in Monday Evening's hard fought match against Saham Toney.  Dereham won 13 boards, lost 9 and drew 2

Highlights below of some of the best performances of the night for the Dereham side:

  • Hand 7 - Lesley & David stealing 3H to score the only EW plus score on this board +11IMPs
  • Hand 9 - Christine & Richard bid and made 6NT as did Di & Gillian (both Saham Towney pairs stopped in game) +14 IMPs
  • Hand 20 - Saw Nick & Neil making 5C* (as NS) with an overtrick for a score of 950 (always have your best hand when vulnerable!) and contributing to our best board score of +17 IMPs
  • Hand 20 - Gillian & Di this time (sitting as EW) bid and made 4H with only 17 points between them. This gave us the only plus score by an EW pair on that board.

Overall, we had 4 plus scores on board 7 and 3 plus scores on 8 other boards. ST had 4 plus scores on board 11 and 3 plus scores on 5 other boards, which leaves 9 boards scoring 2 plus scores each which, of course, is what should happen on level pegging play.

So, a great result, as well as lovely hospitality from Andrew & Sally Rawnsley from Saham Towney club.

This is probably the right time to remind you all that as promised those who were unavailable or did not play in this match (Graham, Penny, Jane O, Peter, Mike, Chris, Sandra will have first refusal for play in the next round. Peter Bond will do the draw for this soon. 

Congratulations to all
