Tonght at 9pm Irish time Thomas MacCormac enters the ring against the powerful Nickell team.
Thomas is part of the Pressure team which employs a powerful method of bidding to put the opponents under pressure.
I don't know who gets shown on vugraph but I suspect it is the more closer matches like 32 v 33 send rather than 2 v 63 seed. However all will be revealed at 2100 hours. Thomas will be backed up in his efforts by the former Gonzaga bridge expert Stephen Barr.
Yesterday the reserve Pressure team had the air left out of their tyres by the coffee swilling Lavazza team. I think it was 171 imps after 60 boards but maybe they retired early.
.......................
Meanwhile other news saw Galligan power to victory over Mullingar man by 46 imps yesterday.
However Magic Murphy took out Galligan by 17-13 with 2 lucky strikes earning 13 imps.
Kelan O'Connor continues to hold the upperhand at bridge and quiz.

Catherine Carabine only managed 2nd place in the Declan Murray Open Pairs on Monday morning.
Noel Hughes and Anthony McMackin think they dumped on Conor O'Hara yesterday in the evening pairs but Ronan and O'Hara still won the war with a first place finish.
...............................
Meanwhile Team MacCormac fired 18 imps past Nickell who responded in kind with 84 in the first 15 boards. The Hanlon powered Street team lead small by 4 imps against Team Amalia.
Unfortunately Team MacCormac suffered another 84 imps with nothing going back so far in the 2nd set of 15 boards. So its 170 plays 18 now.
Just to indicate how powerful an event this Spingold is ... the Street team powered by Thomas Hanlon among other world class players also went out in the first round.
