The EBU’s Premier League takes place over three weekends and decides who will represent England in next year’s Camrose (home nations) Trophy. My team were leading after both the first and second weekends and I was all geared up for the coveted England shirt that says you are a bridge god and play for your country. Sadly, I won’t have to worry about whether they get my size right as we had a dreadful last two days and came absolutely nowhere! The event was won by David Mossop’s squad, which contains one of the nicest (and best) pairs on the circuit — Colin Simpson and David Price.

David gave his team a massive boost by bringing home this tricky 6NT.
Contract: 6NT by South

West led a middle Club which David won in hand and tried a Diamond to the Jack and Queen.
