We were treated to competitive semi finals in both the ARRT and Ball & Chain but all the games were won within the 2 sets leaving us with a Mijas vs Lauro final in both events.
The ARRT final was contested by the highest losers from the pool games after they had eliminated the ARRT Pool winners in the morning. Andy and Monica went into the last end of both the sets 1 shot down to Mary and Bill and managed to pick up 2 shots on both occasions to win the game 2 -0.
The Ball & Chain was and excellent match with Lauro team of Paul and Jane taking a 7-1 lead into the 6th end of set 1, but then dropped a 2 & 3 but that wqs enough to secure the set. Alan and Lynda took the early lead in set 2 and after trading single shots Alan and Lynda took a 3 in the last end to square the match.
Alan and Lynda won the first end of the tie break, Paul and Jane took the second to force the final end. A couple of touchers from both Alan and Lynda moved the jack to the edge of the ditch and Paul just missed the jack and shot bowls with his 3 weighted shots meaning Alan did not need to play his final bowl. Alan and Lynda were able to go one better than in 2023.
Congratulations to our Champions and all those that made it to finals day, Jean, John and Bente for the work in the kitchen, the Umpires and all those who assisted in making the event a success.
