Ladies Championship 2009

Stacy Lungley won her second consecutive Gourock Park Ladies Singles

Championship with a convincing win over Nancy Hawthorn by 21 v 13 on Friday 31st July.  I did not witness the game so the following report is compiled using the score card only.

The first end saw Stacy grab a double and then Nancy recorded two singles to make things all square at the third end. Over the next two ends Stacy showed her determination to retain the title, with a treble at the fourth and then a full house of four shots at the next.

Herself a former Champion, Nancy fought back well with a single, treble and a double to narrow the gap to 9 v 8 to Stacy after eight ends. The ninth end belonged to Stacy and she increased her lead to 12 v 8.  Nancy scored two at the next to keep within touching distance of her young opponent, the score now being 12 v 10 to Stacy.

Over the next three ends, Stacy powered ahead with a double and two trebles to leave her needing just one more shot at 20 v 10.

A brief glimpse of a comeback by Nancy was evident, when she scored a treble in the 14th end, but any hopes she had soon disappeared when Stacy nailed the final shot required to claim the 2009 title.
