Scotland‘s Stewart Anderson dominated the event last year, winning the third open singles title of his career and the open pairs alongside Darren Burnett.
In the women’s singles, Katherine Rednall continued her stunning dominance at the World Indoor Bowls Championship – picking her sixth trophy in 10 years at Potters Resorts.
The Ipswich-born bowler will be in action in Hopton-on-Sea once again this month as she looks to claim a record-extending seventh title.
