MOE Bridges Its Way To Victory

 

 

The Ministry of Education (MOE) outwitted the rest of the field in the Public Service Duplicate Contract Bridge Competition, which was held on Saturday, 27 Jun 09, at the Club CSC @ Tessensohn. A niche mindsport, the event attracted 7 teams from 6 organisations.

“Very happy” was what MOE convenor Mr Marvin Lai said about his team’s triumph, especially after its loss to the Ministry of Health last year. According to him, the team did not have much preparation, except for online bridge games now and then. But as the players were all regular players and teammates in other bridge competitions, the understanding between them was already in place. He also cited “luck” and the ability to captialise on opponents’ mistakes as key to their success.
