The Indonesian bridge team, aiming to bring the Rosenblum Cup
home, has shown a smooth performance in leading the Cup's E Group
after securing 119 victory points (VPs) in six group preliminary
matches in Montreal, Canada, a report said.

A media statement, which was available to The Jakarta Post on
Thursday, reported that Indonesia led the group after securing
five wins and losing one match.

The Indonesian team lineup consists of manager Amran Zamzami,
non-playing captain Munawar Sawiruddin and players Henky
Lasut/Eddy Manoppo, Denny Sacul/Franky Karwur and Robert
Tobing/Taufik G. Asbi.

The Indonesian team, represented by its young pairing of
Robert Tobing/Taufik G. Asbi managed to secure three consecutive
victories on the Cup's first day. The Indonesian pair defeated
Cadi Tazi of Morocco with 25 VPs against 2, Chagnon of Canada
with 22 VPs against 8 and Haderman of Belgium with 16 VPs against
14.

The team also managed to secure victories in the fourth and
fifth matches defeating Taciuc of Romania with 25 VPs against 5
and Panahpour of England with 20 VPs against 10, respectively.
But, lost to Cornell of New Zealand in the sixth match by 11 VPs
to 19.

Indonesia will still have to face two tough teams, Rubin of
the United States and Dechelette of France, as well as a
relatively easy match against Lachance of Canada.
