KIrkliston's Ceri Ann Glen’s hopes of achieving a glorious world double were dashed by Katherine Rednall as the reigning World Indoor Bowls champion proved too good in a fascinating Women’s Singles final at the Imagine Cruising World Championships.
Glen, who won this crown way back in 2008, when known as Ceri Ann Davies and playing for Australia, had already bagged the Mixed Doubles title with Stewart Anderson, but fell agonisingly short at the final hurdle on her first visit to Potters for 14 years.
Persuaded by her mother-in-law to enter a PBA qualifying event in Scotland late last year after only recently making her comeback to the sport, she won that to qualify for both this event and the Mixed Pairs.
