This evening we were pleased to welcome Jane back to the table; and she promptly showed she hadn't lost her touch by taking top spot in partnership with Rosemary! That was despite going 6 down, doubled, to Matthew and Steve on Board 21 - It just shows that you have to forget about the bad hands and concentrate on getting the best out of the one in front of you; Jane and Rosemary racking up eight tops over the 24 boards! Credit to Doug and Colin for being the only pair trying 6NT on Board 21 (unfortunately 2 down, doubled, thanks to cunning defence from Chris and Joan T). Some interesting hands and a wide variety of contracts this evening.

An astounding score of 70% for Mary and Dick this week put them well ahead of the field!

Only one pair tried, and made, a slam this week- plaudits to Elaine and Peter for finding 6 Spades on Board 13.

Interesting evening with a good variety of hands. Slam opportunities on several deals: On Board 10, Mary and Dick were one shy in 7 Hearts while Chris and Joan T stopped at 4 Hearts. On Board 13 all E/W  pairs stopped at 4 Spades but made 12 tricks. On Board 20, E/W had an easy 7NT but Joan M-W and Keith were the only pair to bid it. Overall honours to Joan M-W and Keith who finished miles ahead of the rest!!

Tight competition tonight with overall honours going to Richard and Margaret. Second place was shared by Dick and Mary, and Gill and Keith. All N/S players made 13 tricks on Board 3, but only Dick and Mary were brave enough to bid 7 No Trumps!
