The climax of the finals was scheduled for Satuarday 27th September, when the heavens opened as can happen in Spain. Several of the finalists were unable to get through the floods. Those heroes who did arrive allowed the finals of the Ladies Singles and the Open Triples to take place in front of a brave group of soggy supporters. Diana Johnson Winner Ladies SinglesAngie Knight played Diana Johnston in an exciting and close, though very damp match. Angie’s last bowl just running out of steam in the torrential rain to leave Diana with 2 bowls in the head giving her the 21 points she needed. The final score 21-11 to Diana.
