The Lomas-Bosque Golf Club (Madrid) will host the 2010 Spanish Senior Women's Doubles Championship on October 5th and 6th. The presence of the defending champions, Ana Vilella and Marta Estany, and the absence of the duo of Cristina Marsans and Beatriz Ramírez de Haro, winners of five titles (1999, 2000, 2001, 2005 and 2007), will be key factors in the competition.

Forty-six pairs will take part in the tournament, which unfolds over several days in both 'Best Ball' and 'Foursomes' formats. The extensive waiting list underscores the tournament's deep roots among female golfers in this category.

Ana Vilella and Marta Estany head the list of contenders for the title as defending champions, although, considering the accumulated playing handicap, Catalina Castillejo and Carmen Maestre have the advantage (6.1 to 8.1 for the Catalans).

In addition, it is worth taking into account couples with great experience and understanding: Isabel Lorenzana-Milagros Yanes (9.5), Teresa Casas-María Goizueta (9.8) or Myriam Pereda-Beatriz Cifuentes (11.1.)

It's worth remembering that in the previous edition, held at the Layos course (Toledo), the victory went to the Barcelona pair Ana Vilella and Marta Estany, thanks primarily to their outstanding performance on the first day. The pairs of Catalina Castillejo and Carmen Maestre, and Cristina Marsans and Beatriz Ramírez de Haro (152), finished in second and third place, respectively.
