After failing to qualify for the A-final, both Scottish U21 pairs (and all three U26 pairs and the U31 pairs) dropped in to the President's Cup. After an excellent second session, Rachel and Niamh finished 38th with a fine score of 49.71%. This put them third out of the six Scottish pairs.
Here is a board where they did well:
After our East opened 1H the opposition got to 3NT. The 6 of Hearts lead was effective, and in the end the defence got six tricks for 3NT-2 and the magic +200 and 91% on the board.
I liked that in this event everyone played the same boards. There were always two tables visible on the Vugraph and sometimes that meant I got to see my pairs in action.
I wasn't at the event so don't know about food and stuff; I hope they all had a good time.
