Another slam from the Tollemache qualifying.

Alan Mould opened one club with the North hand, as this could be as few as two clubs Rodney Lighton as South responded one notrump.
Three spades by Alan was an auto splinter, showing good clubs and short spades.  Rodney decided that with his good trump support he was worth a cue bid of four hearts, Alan checked for key cards and bid the slam.

There was nothing to the play, only one other pair bid this slam.
