The following partnership alone contracted successfully to make a very difficult 6D on deal 32 of session two of the 2003 State Wide Pairs:

A. Low & A. Gallagher Newcastle Bridge Club 

This short list was my fault- many clubs were not set board 32 in the session.

Naturally I can not tell to what degree declarer aided and abetted his/her own demise but praise must go to those pairs who managed to defeat 4H on deal 14 in session three of the 2003 State Wide Pairs:

 P. Newton & J. Killen  Batemans Bay Bridge Club

N. Gowing & N. Apps  Bega Valley Bridge Club
