Results of the 2007 Peggy Bayer Trophy

In the Peggy Bayer, the Scottish team came out all guns blazing and looked unstoppable at half time. The new pairing of Ralph and Yvonne Wiseman combined with old hands Philip Morrison and Frazer Morgan played 4 handed and dominated the competition from the start.

In the penultimate match they faced England, who had managed to find some form after a troubling start, and England were convincing victors, to take the trophy south of the border. The key hand was a terrible Paske slam (over)bid by Tom (Mini Paske), leaving elder brother Ben (Big Paske) to find a way home. That he did, and the Scottish supporters were left feeling robbed. The main theme of the victory banquet was "what a terrible slam, but you played it well anyway".

England 161
