UAE- Former winner receives full marks in Fazza Youlah Chionship
(MENAFN- Emirates News Agency (WAM))
DUBAI 6th March 2016 (WAM) -- Rashid bin Harmash Al Mansouri and Bisher bin Rashid bin Bisher squared off in the AED1m final of the Fazza Youlah Championship in the Heritage quadrant at Global Village on Friday evening.
Bin Bisher entered the battlefield of Al Meydan first and spun his replica rifle with great dexterity at the climactic finale of this televised heritage event organised and supervised by the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Heritage Centre HHC.
Unfortunately he wasn't able to replicate his prior form when it came to throwing it skywards and none of his attempts managed to register on the 20 metre high green laser beam.
Al Mansouri strode into the fray with confidence going on to produce a polished and professional performance with four scoring throws and no errors deservedly drawing loud cheers from the audience.
Al Mansouri who is aiming to win the competition for a third time was awarded the full 50 marks by the three-strong jury whereas Bin Bisher got 47.
Nonetheless the voting public at home will have the final say on who exactly should be crowned the eventual champion with that much-anticipated announcement not due until the very last live show on Friday March 18th.
Meanwhile Dalmook Abdullah bin Dalmook finished third after it was announced that he had beaten Ahmed Al Habsi in the previous week's play-off. He polled 61400 votes compared to Al Habsi's 40220.
Souad Ibrahim Darwish the Director of Championships at the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Heritage Centre congratulated both Bin Dalmook and Al Habsi on their respective top-four finishes insisting that that was an achievement in itself given the calibre of the competition overall.
"It takes a lot of effort for the competitors to keep honing their skills on a weekly basis" she said. "They've shown a willingness to learn and an eagerness to abide by the rules and regulations of the tournament. They've also exhibited a high level of sportsmanship and teamwork which are all characteristic features for any Yawel or 'Soldier'."
