Stir Fry - Chinese Taipei

Well we were more than a little nervous going into this match without our position being secured. The team did us proud scoring 21 but with four boards to go 25 looked secure. This left us 25 ahead of the all important 9th place so a score of just one would see us in.

The minor problem, assuming we qualify is that is we are 5th through 8th we will either get USA1 or Italy depending on whether South Africa are an option. If we finish fourth we will almost certainly get Norway who I rate very highly. So the aim here is to finish 3rd and have some choice.

Anyway it will be what it is - by any measure an outstanding effort. To those pessimists who said this team had no chance of doing anything, and there more than a few people who expressed this opinion, we have proved them wrong.

I am so proud of this team. They have shown an immense amount of courage, fight and determination to prove their worth and at the same time have maintained the highest standard of integrity within their partnerships and as part of what has proved to be a solid team unit.

Well done guys....

More soon
David
