The Witch Graham wins

The Witch BBO scores

Last night the Witch took the victory on her moonlight fueled broomstick.


However not before getting a nice gift from Bressie on board 17. 
Here is a nice hand .. South with a strong NT is roared into 3NT by the 10 high card point partner. 
The witch shoots out a small diamond lead with well known County Waterford expert Bressie at the helm. However Bressie steers the ship aground at Tramore Bay. 

Diamond 6 and diamond 2 and diamond Jack is gobbled up by the confident Bressie with the Queen. 
Now he engages his brain and sets off on the Hearts .. 
Graham wins with Ace after getting a twitch of the witches broomstick. 
diamond comes back and Bressie sees the danger but its too late ..the broomstick comes down on his head and smashes his glasses. 

Bressie is not the only man who struggled on this hand. About half the declarers went wrong but most of the defenders did not notice so nobody noticed. 
Bressie needs to approach the Oracle Phelan for advice on this hand. 
Young Donal Garvey also took out the butchers knife as did Ian thugs or minorprob. 

Its a nice hand that just caught my eye. Maybe John Comyn should put it in the paper. 
A little thought at trick 1 before playing might have helped.
