Wednesdays are bad days for BBO challenges

Wednesday is Bridge-Now day as come 1am its the end of the Bridge-Now week.
Therefore all challenges must be finished early in the day so Galligan can have a run at getting 70 boards played. Usually Eamon comes up short as he leaves it too late in the night.

However its a great way to get in some practice and warm up for real bridge.

Meanwhile out in Europe Open Bridge the Waterford Whisperers are toiling away.
Otherwise known as John "Brick" Phelan and Mrs "Brick " Phelan.

They always put down bricks in dummy.
Promise 6-9 and its always 8-9
Their motto is never go Minus ...as plus in part score beats down in SLAM ..

The Waterford Whisperers qualified into the SEMI FINAL A in Mixed Pairs
along with the non-whispering WALSH and KEMPLE.

Poor Murphy ran into some heavy flak in this latest battle.
We also played a BASH recently and Noel was semi content with his 41.5%

I also finished a challenge with Peter from Donegal. He likes Pink Floyd in the background.
We don't know the result of this challenge as Peter is still to finish.

Galligan v Donegalman

Meanwhile storm Kelan has been on the horizon for several months.
I don't like playing Kelan as he is a fully active bridge player whereas Eamon has retired to Directing.
However one of these days Eamon might make an effort.

I mean whoever heard of a Kerry bridgeplayer apart from Nicky Wheels and Bernard Goldenfield.
I used to think Bernard was the best player in Kerry but then I found out he was from Manchester.
