European Teams Day 6

Meanwhile the Ireland Youth team continue their training plan towards victory in next Seasons Junior Camrose. A bye in Round 18 allowed them collect a morale boosting 12 VPS.

Currently they are in a titanic battle with the always powerful Netherlands.
After a bright start where they took an early lead the Netherlands made the comeback and then the overtake.

Meanwhile Galligan finished off the Wilsopd challenge and expects a comfortable victory after gathering in some large final boards.

Galligan should tame Wilson but one never knows

The link to the final 4 boards is above.

Unfortunately the IRELAND East West Nathan Doyle and Michael Donnelly just suffered a painful experience. Their team mates had an imp making score of 2CX and made for 180.
However sadly our boys found their 8 trump cards were not enough to deal with the Dutch in 1H redoubled holding only 5 trumps in a 5-0 fit. Minus 8 imps.

I suppose that is called a DOUBLE BURNS law breaker.


Yes unfortunately 1H redoubled making 7 tricks.

And a final score of IRELAND 16 NETHERLANDS 41

The Final match of today is IRELAND V FRANCE ..STARTING SHORTLY
