Sunday morning's first 16 boards generated clear leaders at the half way stage. With 12 minutes on the clock both English North/South started board 16.
Cooke/Small for the EBU, and Robson/Allfrey in the Closed Room for England.
The TDs had nervous moments for a delayed restart when ten minutes(!) later dummy was faced at the two tables.
No worries, a few seconds later both tables claimed with minutes to spare.
Once again, in both matches the board was flat. In two very different ways. Sitting North, Cameron Small for the EBU took seven bids, and John Carroll for Ireland only two to empty their respective bidding box.
Here are the auctions, and players during the match.
Here is the traveller for the board in the other matches:
