We were rather lucky to win the Weymouth College Trophy Swiss Teams, leapfrogging the field with a 20-0 win in the last match after we had avoided playing most of the other leading teams. The decisive hand in our match against the runners up was also somewhat fortunate
That was our auction to an almost solid slam, which made with an easy overtrick when North led her singleton spade.
In the other room Hilary opened the North hand with a frisky three diamonds, not a bid you will find in many textbooks, but you cannot argue with success. Even with a view of both hands, I cannot come up with a sensible way of bidding slam and at the table they did not come close. East bid 3 hearts (for take-out, a method I would only recommend to my opponents) and West ended the auction with a jump to four spades.
