BRIDGE (6)

I played in the final of the Fünen team championships today. There were eight teams and we finished seventh out of eight, winning only one of our five matches.

I don't think we played badly. In fact, I think we played quite well, bidding and making all of our possible slams, for instance. The problem was that our opponents were very, very good. Most of them have played on the national Danish team, and some of them have won European championships. It was a bit like a second division football side playing against the Premier League.

Still, there was a good lunch, even better cake with my afternoon coffee, and 60 hands of good bridge. A very pleasant way to spend a Sunday.
