I just spotted this board in the European Juniors. Two Irish "Youngsters" Stephen Barr and Aaron Bolger bid the North South cards to 7S .. 7 spades .. and brought it home as well ..
Pretty good for two young lads who started playing Mini Bridge last September and are now doing their thing in the European Junior championships. Just to be clear the top European Juniors would win most Irish national titles at Open level and some European juniors have already starred at US nationals and won Major US National events.
However most players of less than 1 year experience won't have ventured into the far end of the bidding box. I met these chaps at the Schools Bridge in Galway when they quite surprised that the breakfast chef started advising them on bridge. They were unaware they were being served by Irish Senior international player Eddie Fitzgerald ....the joint owner of Four Seasons B&B in Galway.
