So we Won !
By David Burn
We're all pleased, though Fawcett
was complaining that despite winning the British Premier League,
he still wasn't going to play for Britain.
This was the biggest swing of the
match:

(1) Weak two in a major, or strong
(2) Pass if you have hearts
I didn't bid 7
because it sounded to me as though Nik might be saving.
At least I didn't double 7,
though it would not have been very much more expensive if I had.
NS -2210, 17 IMPs to WRIGHT.
