Welcome to Shipston on Stour Duplicate Bridge Club
Evening 2nd March

Congratulations to Richard and Margaret who managed to be top of the leader board for the second week running. Only one pair, the ambitious Elaine and Peter, dared to bid a slam this week. They bid 6 Spades on both Board 6 and Board 22 and were one off in both cases. Credit to Pam and Joyce (sitting N/S) for an excellent sacrifice bid of 4 Clubs (down 2) on Board 14, which gave them maximum points, as on all other tables E/W comfortably made 4 Hearts.

 

Evening 23rd February

Quite a few game contracts in the offing this week. Those bidding 3NT on Board 4 (as N/S) and on Board 3 (as E/W) were rewarded with the few extra points to pip those who stayed in a suit. Slams were bid and made by several N/S pairs on Board 5 and E/W pairs on Board 23. Congratulations to Margaret and Richard for topping the table this week.

Evening 16th February

We were pleased to welcome newcomer Gordon Cutter this week. After a run of slammers topping the leaderboard I thought I would stress the theme of "Fortune favours the brave". Unfortunately after mentioning this to Peter and Elaine they proceeded to prove me wrong by crashing out this week! However it is true that the top three pairs this week bid and made 5 slams between them...Well done to Kath & Rosemary and Colin & Doug for both bagging a brace! Overall honours to Dick and Mary.
