Red-hot Rednall defeats out-of-sorts Merrien in world singles final
THE brilliant Katherine Rednall proved too hot to handle for Alison Merrien on Thursday in the World Indoor Bowls Championships women’s singles final.
The Guernsey star admitted she was out of sorts, but it is doubtful whether anyone would have been able to stop the England player becoming the first four-time women’s champion on the form she showed in a 13-2, 14-2 victory.
‘I needed to be on my A-game to beat her and I’m not sure where I was today,’ said Merrien with a chuckle afterwards.
‘It just wasn’t working for me today.
‘I’m pleased to have got this far, but obviously Katherine has played well the whole tournament so I knew I was up against it and I needed to be on my best form. It was just not to be.’
Merrien still considered it a successful week, having won the mixed pairs title alongside Paul Foster on Tuesday.
