The 2024 World Indoor Bowls Championship was the 2024 edition of the World Indoor Bowls Championship, held at Potters Leisure Resort, Hopton-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth, England, from 5-21 January 2024.[1] The event is organised by the World Bowls Tour and will be televised by the BBC and YouTube.[2] The event is being sponsored for the second consecutive year by Imagine Cruising.[3]
Jamie Walker and Katherine Rednall were the men's and women's defending champions respectively.[4][5]
In an all-Scottish final, two-time champion and number 4 seed Stewart Anderson beat the six-time champion Alex Marshall MBE. Marshall received a wild card to compete and was unseeded because his form had dropped over the last few years but produced outstanding performances to reach the final, including a faultless semi-final win over friend and rival Paul Foster MBE. Anderson defeated another wild card and debutant Harry Goodwin in the other semi-final before sealing the win over Marshall in the final.[6]
Katherine Rednall started her year in fine form, winning her sixth singles title at the championships, defeating Julie Forrest in a close final. Forrest was always in control in the first set before Rednall dominated the second to force a tie break. Rednall's win was largely due to her choosing short lengths (23 metres) throughout the second set and tie break ends.[7]
In another all-Scottish final Stewart Anderson and Darren Burnett won the open pairs for the third time defeating Paul Foster and Jason Banks.[8] Nick Brett and Julie Forrest, bowling together for the first time in this event, won the mixed pairs for their third and second mixed titles respectively.[9]
Darren Weir completed a Scottish dominated championships with a comprehensive victory over Rebecca Moorbey in the Under-25 event.[10]
