In this triple round-robin we are on to our final match against each team. With just 20 minutes between this and the last one Alexander sensibly went for a walk outside (looks like a lovely day), the rest of the team discussed the missed opportunities. They were all back for a partial team photo:
For Round 7 I sat behind Kevin and Michael for the first few boards. They seemed to be playing quite well. Normally they play worse when I'm sat behind them.
On the first board I saw Michael had a weak hand with eight Hearts to the Queen and four points total. When partner opened the bidding 1♦ he duly replied 1♥, then when the opposition got to 3♠ made a disciplined pass. This was rewarded when 3♠ went one off (and so would 4♥).
We therefore went five IMPs up. But gave 15 back. Current score 5-15 to Ireland.
Final score - a narrow win for Scotland.
