Camrose 2014 Match 3 boards 17-32

Board 17 ..I think I am starting the 2nd half 25-27 down ..1NT+1 by NS and 1 imp for Gallojack.
Board 18 .. 26-27..1 more imp for 9 tricks in 2S ...27-27
Board 19.. Galligan declares 3D and loses a 50 for down 1. Unfortunately other folk lost more as EW including a 3NT made at one table. I would never be bidding that anyway.
Par looks to be around 120 plus for NS but I had the chance to double 2!Ds constructive and then
EW might have ventured ahead in Spades.. Lose 5 imps .... 27-32
Board 20 ..Lost an imp for 1NT made EW .. 27-33
Board 21..3NT up 3 and we had 2 aces so lose 1 imp ... 27-34
Board 22.. After 2 hours and 40 minutes since 515am I have battled my way into a Heads Up for 26 or 15 euro in a poker tourney... I am just dabbling in this game. However I never knew anything about Early Stage or Early Position when I was down in Galway in August.
We bought 22 in 2clubs despite only 19 hcp and 8 card EW fit ..Lets see how that goes
2C made up 1 but zero imps.. These Camrose stars are good players I guess.
Board 23 ..4S down 1 and no imps for me.. However somebody had the pleasure of taking the baseball bat to 5D. Wonder who that was.. looks like Doctor Matheson was one beneficionary.
Board 24 .. Had to stop here a while to take down the 26 euro in the poker. Success.
Unfortunately DONT has landed me in the 4-2 diamond fit at the 2 level. Not sure this will
be a success. Minus 150 and minus 2 imps ... 27-36 ...
Board 25 .. 4H-1 and zero imps.
Board 26.. 12 imps for Gallo after the EW Jacks went to 3NT and down 3 vulnerable.
4H is the par on the board.... 39-36 for JackGallo
Board 27 Grand slam by Jack North .. One Camrose pair left it behind and minus 2 imps for Gallo
39-38 now
Board 28 .. 4 imps for taking down 2S by Jacks EW.. 43-36 up
Board 29 .. 1 imp for Jackgallo .. 44-36 Holding 3H to 3
Board 30 .. 5 imps out for the double dummy 3NT made by EW Jack... 44-41
Board 31 .. 2 imps in for 3C up 1 ... 46-41
Board 32 ...the final board ..3D+1 0 imps ...

Galligan still hanging in there and lots of good Camrose stars behind him ..

Game of Thrones looks like a good series ... Somewhat vulgar in places and quite bloody.
However it has all the stuff we civilised folk have including the Dotrachi way.
