European Open Bridge begins 2019

This morning the European Open Bridge event begins in Turkey. Teams led by Johnny Phelan and Terry Walsh enter the fray from Ireland. There is also a team which includes Wooden Spoons Kenny.
The Spoons team might trouble the scorers.
A disappointed Johnny Phelan has already suffered the hurling pain with Waterford losing 4 matches in a row at the stickball. However at least it was good for some people who bet against Waterford.
There is always next year. However those hurlers will be able to login to BBO and support the Waterford card playing star who supports them.
Johnny Phelan the best bridge player in Waterford these days. However he is not allowed say that as its best for Johnny to declare her indoors as the best. That way he gets to drink more beer and stay up later.

Meanwhile in recent challenges Mullingarman is no longer at the races and just loses most challenges.Even Murphyslaw can defeat Mullingarman regularly these days. Wilsopd got beaten this morning by a small margin. Same happened Murphyslaw.
Finally Murphyslaw played 20 boards last night and was very happy to manage 41.5%. I am struggling to understand how that is a win. Most people after getting 41.5% zip up their coats and pretend they were not in the bridge club.

At this moment in the European Mixed Pairs Wooden Spoons Kenny is taking on the might of Pierre Zimmerman. After 4 boards Wooden Spoons Kenny is giving him the porridge. 10-2 in oats.
Then on Board 26 with 43 tables in play ..Wooden Spoons Kenny is the only pair not to bid 3NT with a 26 combined high card points and a good 5 card diamond suit.

Somehow the only pair in the whole room of  43 matches thus 86 tables to stay out of game.

Then the Zimmerman overstretched and got into 4H and Wooden Spoons Kenny doubled and got it off loads .. Maybe 5 off. Zimmerman thought Kenny was a dunce but found out the hard way and 1400 points later. 

Meanwhile the aforementioned Waterford hurlers led by Mick the  Brick will be watching carefully as they note how Johnny Phelan put Osbourne and Hinden to the sword.
25 imps ..thats like the drubbings Waterford used to get off Cork 40 years ago in the stickball.
However one expects Team Badger to arrive at the cutting point when the qualifiers are sent into the knockouts while Team Phelan will meet with same fate as other Waterfords.
