Wooden Canarian ball is a sport without age limitations and also without distinction of sexes. In fact, women were the ones who stood out the most in the semi-finals of the Abuelos Conejeros Canarian Wooden Ball Tournament. Thus, 44 women's teams were registered in the tournament, which in total brought together 70 Canarian ball teams.

In some cases, the results were very close. In the men's category, Los Luchadores and Rompe y Raja will play the final, which were tied at 18 points each. As for the women's category, a modality of great success in participation, the La Peña and Las Decididas teams reached the final. The participation was massive, which contributes to promoting sports that, like wooden ball, have the Canarian identity impregnated.

The teams that win on Wednesday in Tinajo will not only obtain the Canarian ball champions trophy, but will also go on a trip to one of the islands of the archipelago. In addition, the organization will raffle another trip among the seventy teams under the same conditions as the winners.
