A mixture of new and familiar names mounted the winners podium
at the finals of the 2008 Winter Championships, held at Santa
Maria BC, from the 12th – 23rd April, and sponsored
by the Landsbanki Luxembourg SA.
In the Main Event,
the Men’s Singles, Gordon Adams, Benavista
BC, pulled away from Frank Ball,
Benalmadena BC, in
the early stages. Frank overtook Gordon with a serious 3 shot
ends to lead 19-13. Gordon maintained his composure and pegged
away to win by 21-19. No such dramatic end in the Ladies
Singles, where Diane Chambers, Belplaya BC, excelled by
overpowering Sue Walker, Los Amigos BC.
The rest of the
finals matches were also fairly one sided, except for the Ladies
Pairs, a really close match in which Barbara Land & Pauline
Ball, Benalmadena BC, were “pipped at the post” by Angie Knight
& Denise Howlett, Superbowl BC.
At the presentation,
Jimmy Chalmers, from the host club, thanked all the
participants, officials & representative from sponsors,
Landsbanki Luxembourg SA, Ole Hougaard & Lone Westh Jensen.
Winners and finalists received trophies and gift tokens.
