Kelan gets Steamed in Bridge challenge

Just in case anyone thought Galligan was gone away. Well Kelan offered the BBO challenge and Kelan left with nothing. Not even 1 imp was allowed be brought back to the Kerry pigfarm.
After two early flat boards Galligan gained 1 imp due to superior declarer skills.
Board 4 was flat in 6NT
on board 5 Galligan went for the swing by opening a 15 count very balanced as weak NT.
Kelan roared in on his phone with a full blooded 1NT opening

With 7 tricks off the top this clearly is a hopeless contract but the great Kerryman roars into 3NT hoping for Tralee Bridge Club defence. Not to be ...and the cautious Galligan stays in 2C which unfortunately failed on 4-1 trumps. 

Then Board 7 

Again Kelan roared into 4S and found that was beyond his declaring skills.

The robot in West found the Tommy MacCormac special lead of the NINE from A9xxx and 

down went the Kerryman. Kerryman needs to visit Dublin more often to be up to current opening lead technique. 

Finally board 8 and Galligan nailed the coffin SHUT

Kelan again takes the high road against Galligans low road 1C opening ..

4H has no hope even with Kelan at the helm. 

Down he went as the cautious more experienced Galligan chose to play in 3H and rolled it home.

Kelans line does not even make 3H. 

I fully understand Kelans actions are the actions of most Irish players but maybe most Irish players need some upskilling. Come play the Ireland Imp Pairs and we can work on that tonight 

IRELAND IMPS PAIRS EVERY NIGHT 8pm. 

Last nights winners by a distance Ciaran Coyne and David Walsh. No sign of Kelan the Steamed Ham.
