We played a 2nd trump when we got in and there after collected a large penalty.

Nobody steals from her.

The Super Senior Pairs (for players 70 and older) was won by Ed Lazarus (This time partner with Mark Laken) for the 3rd time since its inauguration in 2010. 

Congratulations to Ed for his achievement.

I think there should be a rule in place that anybody that has won this event once should be barred from playing. After all, this event was created to give players 70 and older a chance to win a National title before they go on to the bridge game in the sky.

Nothing against Ed, am friends with both Ed and Tiger. Just saying.
