Welcome to Belper Bridge Club
MOSS TROPHY

We intend to rerun the Moss Trophy in much the same format as last year.

Teams of Four played on the 4th Friday of each month. Part of our normal session with other pairs not involved in the Trophy as such also playing.

The best 5 results through the year to count.

The 5 teams that completed the programme last year are likely to try again this year but we are anxious for other teams to come forward. If you are regular pairs and think you are likely to play a good number of these rounds think about making up another team of 4. we will be approaching likely pairs but please contact us if you would like to compete.

 

CHALLENGE TROPHY

HAND OF THE WEEK 10 April

The only hand nearly approaching a slam in Hearts. The machine says not to.

What are your ideas?

So nearly a slam!

Over a 1H opener by North, South could use a special Splinter bid.

For those of you not familiar with it, over 1H a double jump in , in this case , Clubs - ie 4C would show support for hearts , committing to game and vitally a singleton or void in the bid suit.

Knowing South has at most 1 Club and with 3 aces North would I think push on to a slam.

They should not of course as I think the slam is doomed - with no play to avoid a loser in diamonds.

However it would be boring if we never bid slams!
