We started with a 11-19 loss to Israel*. That was followed by a narrow 16-14 win
against Sweden, and we ended the day with a 20-10 win over Wales, leaving us
still in 9th position. We are
9 VPs short of 6th place, which would earn us a trip to the World
Championships in Bali, and 15.5 VPs off the medal positions, which would earn
us open-topped bus parade through Aylesbury.
Our opponents tomorrow are all lying above us – Denmark (currently
3rd), France (1st) and Scotland (4th). So, fingers crossed for as much of the day as
you can manage.
* Yes, I know, Israel are not really in Europe, but the
European Bridge League base much of their organisation of the event on that of the
Eurovision Song Contest, in which Israel are allowed to perform. Ireland’s own Terry Wogan and Graham Norton
are doing a fine double act on VuGraph.
GN: “Ooh, look, he’s got a Yarborough.”
TW: “That’s nil pwa.” (Sorry, I
don’t know how I get you to read ‘points’ with a French accent.)
