Our first year at the fantastic new Clyde Bridge Centre. I took seven pupils across on the train. We had five rounds of three boards, with a break for a packed lunch (or a visit to the burger van outside). 

The reason the scores look a bit strange is that teams with adults were ineligible to win.

One highlight was Zac and Lucas (Hutchesons Seniors) bidding 6S from South here:

 

The board below is a good score from HSOG as Niamh & Rachel made 5C from West here. There is only one way to play the trump suit for no losers - lead the Queen. Then if you can draw trumps and set up a Heart trick before the defence take their Spade you've got a chance.

Shiva & Artem and Zac & Lucas made 4S from NS. This needs trump leads from the defence to beat it, else declarer can ruff two Clubs in dummy.

East-West didn’t get very good cards. The best we saw all day was this:

My partner (Ashwin) made 1NT+2 from East. The Clyde Bridge Club locals made 4S here, and 2Dx from North too!

The new premises were very spacious and it was great to have Angus MacDonald to help us with the scoring - as we had to fix a few scores when alert players noticed some boards were duplicated wrongly.
