The final was: Lavazza vs Snellers
Lavazza: DUBOIN Giorgio – MADALA Agustin -MAHMOOD Zia – BILDE Dennis
Snellers: SNELLERS Agnes – DE BOER Wubbo – van LANKVELD Joris – van den BOS Berend
First Set (10 Boards)
The first swing appeared in the third board of the set:
Board 13
After Madala’s 1
opening bid, the N/S partnership with no competition landed in a 2 contract, they scored +140. 
At the other table after the same opening bid: 1, North chose to show his spade suit and after his partner’s 1NT second bid he decided to show his 5 spades with a 2
rebid.
Bilde took the opportunity to show his diamond suit with a double, Sneller said 2 and Zia risked 3…that was the final contract.
As expected, Zia found the diamond lady, scoring +110…and the first 6 IMPs of the final for his team.
In board 15 Lavazza added another 4 IMPs. But in Board 16 Snellers managed to keep playing a partscore in spades where Madala-Duboin went one down in 4
, recovering 5 IMPs.
In Board 17 Lavazza added another 2 IMPs, the two tables were down one in the same contract but nobody dared to double Zia.
In Board 18, again Snellers played and make a partscore where Lavazza risked the game with one down … now the match was, Lavazza: 12 – Snellers 11.
Watch Snellers bidding Board 18:
Board 20 decided the final outcome when Snellers at one of the tables played a cold 6, while in the other table Zia-Bilde
after a cruel competition decided to double his opps 5 contract. The board was 14 IMPs for Snellers
The first set finished Snellers 25 – Lavazza 12.
