2012 Corn Cairdis

The 2012 Corn Cairdis was held over the weekend of 4-6 May.  Prue & Adrian Knight and Tony & Alaric Cundy (Alaric is Tony's brother) represented West Midlands Bridge Club. 

The English scooped victory again this year in the final match to beat Ireland 369  v 350 VPs.

Tony's tale of success:

'This was a great event again this year.  As usual, EBU was 1 VP in arrears going into the last 10 boards but managed to pull something out of the bag and win by 369 v 350 VP.  The club team of Prue and Adrian Knight and Tony and Alaric Cundy more than held their own.  Tony and Alaric last played together more than 40 years ago and hoped for a quiet start such as 1NT - P - P - P on the first few boards.  Instead, the opposition went 1 off in a makeable 6H on the first board.  On the second board Tony had this problem:  Non vulnerable against vulnerable, and in 4th seat he picked up: A52   A5   J3   ♣AKJ543.  

The bidding proceeded (3) – 3♠ – (P) - ?  A nice problem with a new partner.  There seem to be 7 tricks in spades, 5 in clubs if one ruff is needed to set them up and of course A for a thirteenth.  However, for even a small slam, partner needs a singleton diamond or something like Kx.  Tony chose a direct 6♠.  The actual lead of K from KQJ… may have seemed safe but allowed declarer to make 13 tricks when the defence could have taken A&K!  Declarer  held  ♠KJT9863 T73 52 ♣2.  Both boards were played in comfortable games in the other room.

So that was +24 IMPs in the first 2 boards the brothers had played together in 40 years!

After the match, the four of us found time to climb about on the Giant’s Causeway on the way back to Belfast!'
