Ireland Imps Pairs runs every night at 830pm .. 24-28 boards in 6 or 7 rounds.
Last night Tom Gilligan and Dave Terry posted a fine 68 imps plus score in the Ireland imps pairs.
This left them 40 imps clear of 2nd place but they did not hit the front straight away. They had a 12 board battle with fellow Malahide players Elaine Caulfield and Agnes Kelly in rounds 4 5 an 6 and eventually won by polishing off Carolyn O'Donnell and Kenny in the final round.
A good start as the robot sitouts opted to go all the way to 5Ds missing out on the better 4H contract.
This generated 9 imps for Terry and Gilligan.
However the 9 imps went back as this 5H was too tough to bring home with
5-0 trumps offside.
These boys appear to be playing strong NT which they would have indicated on
arrival at the table. However I don't see any alert of the redouble. However
in this case the opps damaged themselves after the unalerted redouble so could have no
complaint. Unalerted bids can cause a pair to lose any gain connected to the non-alert.
Here the 5CX might have made but the 5S offered was definitely not making.
And above the results for September 16th
