560kg master
tournament (elite) and youth tournament 560kg
28. June 08
At the master tournament our titel
defense lined up to 560kg. Eight crews were announced and we
had a good start in the tournament. Also as it from
excavator buckets and it rained a deep and slippery trace
gave, fought we for the points. As the group second we
qualified ourselves for semi-finals. For the semifinals new
traces were made, this came for us well lain and could
strike the Nottwiler Puller with a clear 3:0. Mosnang could
become generally accepted against Gonten. The small final
again could win Nottwil. In the final we were not able
Stanser unfortunately, the title again win and occupied thus
the vice-Swiss master. At the youth 560 in a new tournament
mode (first round only one pull approximately
all other teams, 2 further quali rounds, final round) one
pulled. This benefitted our young crew consisting of four
women and five men. In the first round still at the 7th
place they created it last on the great 4th conclusion rank.
They defeated Appenzell in the qualiround, which stood in
the first round on place 1! All dreamed about the first
landing place, but they were unfortunately able to withstand
not against the Engelberger in the final round and occupied
thus 4th conclusion rank. Cordial congratulations to our two
Stanser crews.
In very warm weather the Mosliger
tournament was accomplished. On Saturday the 600kg elite
pulled. Waldkirch, Engelberg, Mosnang and Stans reached
the semi-final. We delivered into the groups only one
point against Engelberg. Thus we were first of the group.
Engelberg against Mosnang and Waldkirch against Stans in
the semifinals. We made short process and qualified and
for the final. In the other one halffinally itself
Engelberg could against Mosnang after long Fight
interspersed. The final was much stretching. Engelberg
could defeat us in the first Pull. Stans could adjust with
the second Pull on 1:1. Whereupon Engelberg had won and
went the place lot the other side, where we had won before.
Full motivation! We had approx. 3. 7m forward, had
nearly lost however we could our forces again mobilize and
made ourselves nearly eight meter good! Victory!
On Sunday our women Team had also a
championship tournament. Also they qualified themselves
for the semi-final. Since they had to change the team over
somewhat, you could unfortunately fight for no landing
place. The Stanser women classified itself on good 4th
conclusion rank
