MID-AMATEUR CIRCUIT – BELAS STAGE

Gonçalo Costa (Men’s Gross), Lara Vieira (Women’s Gross), João Fortes (Women’s Seniors) and Marta Lampreia (Women’s Seniors – Gross) were the highlights at Belas Clube de Campo, in Sintra.

Gonçalo Costa, from Lisbon Sports Club, reinforced his leadership in the Ranking Road to Troia, as he had already won the first tournament of this year. With no rain but with very heavy terrain, the participants’ task was not easy. Tiago Costa, National Mid-Amateur Champion in 2021, was second, and José Pedro Azevedo, third.

In the Women’s competition, Madeiran Lara Vieira did not give her opponents a chance: Sofia Câmara, who had won the inaugural event, was second and Marta Lampreia, third. In the Women’s Seniors, Marta Lampreia dominated, finishing seven strokes ahead of Ana Basílio dos Santos and eleven ahead of the current National Mid-Amateur Champion, Maria José Pinto. In Seniors Men, a more balanced field making a play-off necessary between João Fortes and Sérgio Pereira. In Medal Net, the champions were João Pedro Azevedo, Sérgio Pereira (in the Seniors) and Ana Basílio dos Santos who won the General competition and the Seniors category.
