Malaga Scores Impressive Victory over the Visitors!
Ten men & ten ladies representing the Spanish National squad, from mainly Alicante and Almeria provinces, made the trek to Santa Maria bowls club to play a match against the Malaga provincial team, under the auspices of the Spanish & Andalucian Bowling Federations. The result was not only an exhibition of excellent bowling and warm friendship between the two teams, but an important win for Malaga in both the men’s & ladies categories.
The weather helped considerably, but best off all was the outstanding result after the first session in which Malaga won all the matches. In the remaining three sessions, the visitors proved the stronger, but were unable to overcome their poor start.
The highlight of the event, off the bowling green, was the visit of Maria Jose Figueira de la Rosa, representing the lady mayor of Marbella, who gave a welcoming speech to the assembled bowlers.
After two days of spectacular competition, the event was topped off with a very convivial gala dinner at the Villa de Laredo hotel, Fuengirola, where the visitors had been accommodated. Speech by speech confirmed the success of the event and the need to repeat on an annual basis. Well done the two teams, the many spectators and members of the Santa Maria club who worked so hard to make the occasion such a great spectacle.
