In the closed room, the Scottish South produced a nicely judged 5diamond, which worked beautifully at the table when North supported.

I quote from a higher authority: " I think that the tactical bidding of both North-South pairs bears examination." Yes indeed. Another goal for the softly, softly, catchy monkey approach.

The overall result: England 45 - 45 Scotland. Another score draw!
