Ireland Imps Pairs 830pm Sunday July 5th

Starting 830pm Sunday July 5th ..24 boards ..Can you defeat the Fermanaghs

Here we see the Fermanagh pressure bidding system in full flow.
They push the willing Waterfords a level too high. 
However the bidding is far beyond my logic. Fermanagh EAST finds a takeout double VULNERABLE with an 11 count ....okay we can let that go ...
Then when Fermanagh West who is forced to bid makes a 2H bid ...the East Fermanagh who has already kind of shown 4 card hearts with the first bid RAISES the forced 2H with only a 3 card suit despite having started with the small 11 count ....in my world East is showing mucho extras ..well at least trick up on the worst opening hand ..so at very minimum a good 14 count.
...............
Meanwhile over in the West of Fermanagh ...all is well ... he has an even better hand then his massively overbidding partner but he remains stum. All this weird bidding should be alerted as nobody will be able to understand that one overbids and the other one lies low in the grass. 
Now maybe its just that they don't know any better or maybe they know.


Then we find Glynn and Scannell bidding a normal 4H ...15 opposite 9 ..8 card fit and singleton doubleton values. Not today Galways ..the Fermanagh hurlers are on point. 
Now Club King is a possible lead but its declarers opening bid so not so attractive. 
However it is the killing lead once partner has TRUMP ACE and a ruffing value in Clubs. 
Possible but maybe a misclick ...a brilliant defence none the less.
