Now I have heard of a hand like a foot before but never a hand like 2 feet.
32 high card points ...what can one do
However I will not spoil anyone's fun as this hand is from today April 22nd.
If you can figure out how to get on Bridgez then its well worth your while.
Its FREE but the owner is getting on a little and hopes some folk will make a donation but thats no big deal ..you either do or you don't
How to access it ...

This weekend in Malahide at the new centre for bridge excellence we have the Kelbourne Trophy. I presume MR and MRs Kelbourne were bridge players who donated a trophy for the masses to compete for. Eamon won it once back in the day with Team mates and Pivot partners Dave Terry Pat Kelly and Paul Delaney.
This year sees 2 Malahide Teams competing but they will find Western SMunster and the Grinding Dublin South too hot to handle. The Brendan O'Brien powered Holders Team will also
be in the mix as they have Conor Boland on board too as well as the well known Brid and Terry. However negotiating the early hours of Sunday could be an issue.
Fearghal touts the Western Team to win but stamina could be a problem there.
I think South Munster have so many natural bridge players that they should win.
There is also the BORE DRAW Team led by Captain Paul Delaney. They have a good chance as
they will bore the other teams in a deathgrip with their grinding lots of thinking style. Also in their captain they have a man who has developed partnerships with all 3 of his team mates. So no problem for
them in the pivot. One of this team was once told by the man who used to run the Regent Bridge ....His name was Frank.
"Mr X you will play one board per round for the rest of the session "
I don't see any other teams making the top 4.
Declans harem could find this is one step too far. The folk in this event don't play Hackett.
The Gilligan Team will play hard but lack of recent Galligan training AND the absent flare of Billy Ronan will find them out.
Places 5-8 should be competed for by DN2 E ML and NE in some order
9-12 will be Presidents NE2 SMi and DN.
Lets see how many positions I get correct
Any offence taken from the above is purely down to thin skin.
The director Fearghal O'Boyle will do a good job unless Mairead is missing.

Meanwhile Team Grainne won something
Some good players were playing including Thomas Hanlon
Galligan in the middle after 6 boards of round 1
