The winners of the 2013 Junior Open Pairs at the Bridge Club are David Petty and Kathleen Keane who put together two solid 61% sessions to come from second place and just pip the first round leaders Linda Abend and Noula Contibas.Shooting up the field to finish in third place with a great 65.18% second session were Martha Ferguson and Stephen Smith, with Geoff and Kath Bell finishing in fourth and Joan and Ron Ross in fifth.Congratulations to all these pairs. It was a large tough field and the winners, David and Kathleen, showed remarkable consistency over the two sessions and were duly rewarded. Well done.This week’s hand is a terrific lesson in preparation by a Declarer, following the advice that when everything looks rosy one must look for what can go wrong.Declarer succeeded in a contract that no one else in the room made.Board 3.

But, what if West held the 4 clubs?Declarer had a plan.He ruffed the first diamond with the Ace of trumps, cashed the Club Ace, crossed to dummy by overtaking the seven of spades with the eight and led a club.East was caught in a trap. If he ruffed, the club suit would be good and Declarer could draw the last trump, run clubs throwing a heart and ruff his losing heart in dummy.So, East, clearly a good player, discarded a heart. Declarer won, crosses to the spade 10 and again led a club from dummy.East again discarded, declarer won, ruffed a club in dummy, ruffed a diamond back to hand, drew trumps and claimed twelve tricks. Six trumps, a heart, four clubs and a club ruff.Good bidding and great declarer play.Please note that the Mixed Pairs event at the Club , previously scheduled for April 3rd and 5th, will now be held on May 1st and 3rd.
