Every Tuesday in Ballyboughal Old school hall, at 9pm – opposite the pub – A group of about 25 – 30 people meet to play a game of cards called Whist. I never knew that Whist was a card game until very recently. That said, if you are a card player and think this might be for you or you simply are looking for something to do of your Tuesday evening Ann, one of the organisers tells me that you and your Auntie are more than welcome to pop along and join in. Someone will show you the ropes and you might just enjoy yourself. Go on, sure you’re brutal at golf anyway….. you may as well take up a new hobby.
Whist rules….A standard 52 card pack is used. The cards in each suit rank from highest to lowest: A K Q J 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2. Whist is played by four players, who play in two partnerships with the partners sitting opposite each other. Players cut or draw cards to determine partners, with the two highest playing against the lowest two, who have seating rights. The players then cut for deal. It is strictly against the rules to comment on the cards in any way. One may not comment upon the hand one was dealt nor about one’s good fortune or bad fortune. One may not signal to one’s partner.
