Ireland Imps Pairs Cairnsie & PaulMayo win

Last night in the Ireland Imp Pairs Mayo finally won something. Apparently some lady put a curse on the Mayo footballers for drowning her. However someone called Paulmayo won the day last night after seeing off the many times winners Tranmer1 and Tranmer2 in a 6 board head to head on rounds 4-5. The Tranmers were unfortunate to meet some tough opponents coming up the straight. Not much damage was done but the normal generous gifts were not being delivered. There were also few slam hands for Paul Tranmer to roll out the cannon on. There was also the presence of the glowering Murphyslaw in partnership with the talented but unpolished Thomas Gilligan in tow.
Gilligan needs to saddle up with Martin Garvey to gain the extra edge in bridge technique. His mate Sean Connor could tell him that.

Board 19 was a thin 4H with 7 plus working singleton facing a 3433 15 count. Not a thing that most are bidding and so it turned out. Carnsie and Mayo were in 4H and the hapless TerrySheridan partnership took the required save but still got steamed in the imps due to the field staying in 170 land. Even the powerful Tranmers did not glance past 2H.
Board 20 say the accurate CarnMayo bid to 5D quickly and gather in another 4 imps against the cautious 3S bidding Terry. Magic Murphy leapt to 4S over the Tranmer opening bid and played there doubled for minus 500. However he lost 2 imps on the limited field.
Then Board 21 I dunno but Cairnsie Mayo got the Tranmer gift on this hand with their opponents driving hard to slam with 3 losing diamonds in each hand. With this boost coming on 2nd last round Cairnsie and Mayo were not going to be caught as Tranmers tried to escape the firm grip of Murphyslaw.
