Woodberry B, one of 3 teams in the EBU lockdown league, has had a successful last sprint. We were lucky last 6 weeks ago to get promoted to Division 4 (only because some teams above dropped out) and then faced a tough challenge. Two weeks ago we were climbing up the group but suffered when the team made costly mis-clicks in play of two hands what with other mistakes we were humiliated, losing by 51 IMPs over the 8 boards! However, we climbed back steadily from that disaster and in the last match on Friday the team got some crucial high level judgements correct, giving a win by 41 IMPS, and putting us narrowly at the top of the division (with promotion to Division 3). Thanks go to all the squad; Ken Barnett, Gary Diamond, Chantal Girardin, Paul Huggins, Paul Lamford, Stefanie Rohan and Paul Thornton. But especially to Paul Lamford who not only is a great player, but amuses and inspires the team with instructive reports and blogs on the interesting hands. Some of these can make difficult reading as he spares no one; people reading these blogs will be familiar with the style.
