It was a delight to have 24 World Class teams including 7 of the 10 Olympic teams competing at Braehead in their final competition prior to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
6 of the Olympic teams reached the quarter final stages and provided a real spectacle show on Sunday.
The home nation Great Britain, skipped by Eve Muirhead, secured a semi final victory against a young Swedish team skipped by Cissi Ostlund with a score line of 6-4.
In the other semi-final, the highly experienced Swiss Olympic team skipped by Mirjam Ott met Bingyu Wang’s current World Gold Medallist winning team. The game was close throughout with the Swiss creating a 2 in the 7th end to edge 5-4 in front and stealing a 1 in the final end to secure their place in the final.
The final between Eve Muirhead and Mirjam Ott’s teams was a superb game with the Great Britain team in the lead at the half-way mark. However the Swiss side fought back hard and took the edge to be crowned champions of the 2010 Glynhill Ladies International.
Pictured below are Mirjam Ott, Carmen Schafer, Carmen Kung and Janine Greiner being presented the trophy from Glynhill Hotel owner Maroulla Nicholas.
