Well done this weeks winners Jen and Andie along with Mel and Barbara the leading No fears pair .

Board 5 was a difficult one with many pairs failing to bid the excellent slam. In the illustrated auction, Stephen and i had an unconvincing effort. After showing a strong unbalanced hand, Stephen signed off with 3NT.  I tried again with a 4NT slam try and Stephen felt he did not have enough so passed ..never mind there is always next week.

Meanwhile top Welsh internationals Daffydd Jones and Alan Dunn had no problem bidding to the 'grand slam', a very reasonable contract, which only requires trumps to break 3-2. The key to getting there was Alan's fourth suit forcing 3♥action after the strong rebid. This allowed Daffydd to show three card spade support. 4NT was key card Blackwood and 5D was asking for ♠Q. The 6C response showed ♠Q and ♣K. Easy now, you can count twelve tricks on top and a heart ruff for the thirteen, very nicely done them. (south opened 1D)
