Peggy Bayer Match 6 - England

With one match left in the day the team looked quite tired. Final push against England, trying not to lose 20-0.

In the interest of letting me go back to my room and change my wet shoes here is the second hand of the match:

England tend to play a lot of hands. In one room the English South played 2S, probably after opening a weak two. He made 10 tricks when everything went nicely. In the other room the English East played 3D-2, presumably when West doubled the 2S opening. That contact went two down, for an early IMP for Scotland.

A few too many boards got away from us, and we lost 18.3-1.7. We have therefore avoided a whitewash once again, and scored fractionally more victory points than the first time we played England.

We remain in 3rd place, though slightly closer to 4th than 2nd now.
