The United Kingdom feels a second touch of Second Chance glory.

After winning the Second Chance Retro event for 1981 during 2008, Cyndi Alzoumi now claims the prize for best second placed song in the OGAE Second Chance Contest for the UK. 'I'll Leave My Heart' was under strong competition from Sweden's Shirley Clamp, with these 2 ladies well ahead of the rest of the field. The full results tables will be available soon. The UK also managed a last place in this vote however - something we are getting used to and we also have yet to win the main Second Chance Contest.
