0:00:38 > 0:00:42Hello, everyone, and welcome highlights from the World Indoor
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Bowls Championships at Potters. Action from the open singles later,
0:00:45 > 0:00:51but we start with the final of the ladies singles, between Katherine
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Rednall and Rebecca Field. Rednall, defending champion, defeated Lesley
0:00:53 > 0:00:59Doig in the semifinal, with Field overcoming Janice Gower. In the
0:00:59 > 0:01:04final, Rednall made the better start, winning the first set and
0:01:04 > 0:01:07looking in superb touch. We join it in the fourth end of the second set,
0:01:07 > 0:01:14with Rednall ahead.
0:01:48 > 0:01:57It's a short bowl again, isn't it? That's been the default of the first
0:01:57 > 0:02:01two from Rebecca, and she makes life so much harder for herself, that's
0:02:01 > 0:02:12the problem. Katherine is just punishing her at the moment.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27Turned her back on it again. She really is struggling, and it's hard
0:02:27 > 0:02:34to watch this, because she is so much better, we all know that. In
0:02:34 > 0:02:39the meantime, Katherine Rednall is getting a free run. Well, she is
0:02:39 > 0:02:45doing exactly what she has to do, take advantage.You can't give
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Katherine Rednall a free run, simple as that. That was always the danger,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52she's been playing so well in her previous matches, and she is very
0:02:52 > 0:02:59confident, very relaxed out there. Rebecca would have known she'd
0:02:59 > 0:03:11needed to really be up there with her first two, in particular.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Really good stuff from Katherine Rednall.She's finding centre line
0:03:54 > 0:03:59as well, and the crowd just acknowledging that level of skill
0:03:59 > 0:04:08for the short term retentive memory on line weight, which is very much
0:04:08 > 0:04:14with the 22-year-old, just turned 22.
0:04:15 > 0:04:1922. Really, Rebecca is left in so much trouble again. Over correction,
0:04:19 > 0:04:28understandable.Yeah, not easy to get a shot when you four down.
0:04:28 > 0:04:34Rebecca is making it look -- Katherine is making it look so easy
0:04:34 > 0:04:44at the moment.The Rednall camp obviously very happy at the moment.
0:04:44 > 0:04:53Working out how me and is they've got to go, I think. -- how
0:04:53 > 0:04:57got to go, I think. -- how many ends they've got to go.You have to
0:04:57 > 0:05:03appreciate the fact that it's a bit in a position -- it's a bit of an
0:05:03 > 0:05:09exhibition at the moment. At the moment, Rebecca Field has no answer.
0:05:29 > 0:05:35Good from Rebecca Field. That's much better, much happier seeing it
0:05:35 > 0:05:41behind.
0:05:47 > 0:05:53It gives her a good starting point now. Can play either side. It will
0:05:53 > 0:05:55touch the jack, makes a double.
0:06:08 > 0:06:15Got a chance with this. A little touch on it. Well, that's
0:06:15 > 0:06:22remarkable, really. You
0:06:22 > 0:06:25remarkable, really. You consider, and that's what we expect from
0:06:25 > 0:06:30Rebecca Field, two markers like that.Beckett is an accomplished
0:06:30 > 0:06:34player with a strong record, and we know she can bowl like this. --
0:06:34 > 0:06:42Rebecca.She is forcing Katherine into running bowls, and she's
0:06:42 > 0:06:49missed. Moving to the other side, staying away from the jack, may be
0:06:49 > 0:06:53going a bit steep, expecting Rebecca to get it, but a tug on the jack in
0:06:53 > 0:06:58the corner would be good. Well, there you go.Outstanding.
0:06:58 > 0:07:12Absolutely. The ability is there, we all know that. Looks under.
0:07:12 > 0:07:20Four shots coming up.
0:07:40 > 0:07:47Now, Rebecca, no mistakes.
0:07:47 > 0:07:57Yeah, four shots it is, and look at the four shots.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59the four shots.Very good from Rebecca, and the first time she's
0:07:59 > 0:08:04really put Katherine under any pressure in the match.Games can
0:08:04 > 0:08:12turn quickly, and she has got time. She forced Katherine into playing
0:08:12 > 0:08:15two weighted bowls, and she played them quickly, but under with each of
0:08:15 > 0:08:18them. A moment of encouragement for
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Rebecca Field, but Rednall was closing in on the third title. We
0:08:22 > 0:08:33rejoin the action in the third end.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39It has to hurt for a while because, if it doesn't hurt...There is no
0:08:39 > 0:08:46point.No point in playing. Something isn't right if it doesn't
0:08:46 > 0:08:51hurt.After two days, she'll rationalise it and say, I was in the
0:08:51 > 0:09:00final, just not my day.She didn't settle, she didn't come out and
0:09:00 > 0:09:04settle, and that was the problem. She scratched around for quite a
0:09:04 > 0:09:10fuel ends in the first set, and that continued in the second, certainly
0:09:10 > 0:09:20the first couple of end. She didn't score until the fifth end, did she?
0:09:20 > 0:09:24In the second set, it was the fifth end where she picked up the big
0:09:24 > 0:09:30four. All of a sudden, you are seeing the true Rebecca Field.We
0:09:30 > 0:09:42have had glimpses.A smile which says, where have I been all day!
0:09:47 > 0:09:51She is attacking, Katherine Rednall. That will do. That brings it right
0:09:51 > 0:09:57in. Didn't need to, because there two shots, she could have drawn in
0:09:57 > 0:10:01and packed the head, but quite comfortable with that.She's gone
0:10:01 > 0:10:13early and I think it's the right decision.She kills off the game.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Lying a couple, but you'd expect Katherine Rednall to draw this.She
0:10:23 > 0:10:27knows that, by opening it, she gives herself the opportunity to do what
0:10:27 > 0:10:40she does best, which is to draw. There we go, a recovery shot, and a
0:10:40 > 0:10:46toucher as well.That's just rubbing it in.That's just sort in the womb.
0:10:46 > 0:10:52-- in the wound.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56-- in the wound. And then a back toucher.
0:11:08 > 0:11:14She looking to make a disturbance, and not the case. It's all over.
0:11:14 > 0:11:23APPLAUSE
0:11:24 > 0:11:29Absolutely nothing that Rebecca Field could do today to keep
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Katherine Rednall away from the jack. She was absolutely relentless.
0:11:33 > 0:11:40Perfect display of singles, played really well. Just one end where she
0:11:40 > 0:11:50faltered by losing a four, but she kept Rebecca Field to singles, three
0:11:50 > 0:11:55in the first set, and two others in the second. 13-3 in the first set,
0:11:55 > 0:12:02and a very comfortable 13-6 in the second. 2-0.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07We'll start with Rebecca. I guess you've got to put it down to just
0:12:07 > 0:12:14one of those days where you run into an opponent who was in fine form.In
0:12:14 > 0:12:18my opinion, I've lost to the best player in the world, so...
0:12:18 > 0:12:23APPLAUSE I can understand if you don't want
0:12:23 > 0:12:30to say any more. It's understandable.It's not good crying
0:12:30 > 0:12:34on national TV, is it? I'll come away and think, I didn't play very
0:12:34 > 0:12:38well, but this girl puts you under pressure. She makes you crack. I've
0:12:38 > 0:12:42played well all week, and she was superb today. You just have to enjoy
0:12:42 > 0:12:47watching, there's not a lot you can do about it! It's fantastic and I
0:12:47 > 0:13:00will take a lot of memories away from here.Thank you, thank you.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Katherine, why did you do that to one of your best mates?I feel
0:13:04 > 0:13:09really bad! I guess I settled into it. That's probably the best I've
0:13:09 > 0:13:15ever played. I found it from the first end really, and I didn't enjoy
0:13:15 > 0:13:19it, actually, it was horrible, but no... I don't really know what to
0:13:19 > 0:13:23say!I was going to ask you, you must have been enjoying the fact you
0:13:23 > 0:13:28are playing so well, but on the receiving end is someone that you
0:13:28 > 0:13:34know and get on so well with.Yes, some ends, I looked up and I felt so
0:13:34 > 0:13:37sorry for Rebecca, having to play from the other end. I wouldn't have
0:13:37 > 0:13:42a clue what to do. But I just settled into it and I couldn't
0:13:42 > 0:13:49really have done any better. The 2018 ladies world champion,
0:13:49 > 0:13:57Katherine Rednall! Well done to Katherine Rednall, a
0:13:57 > 0:14:03third title at the tender age of 22. Remarkable. Now we switch our
0:14:03 > 0:14:06attention to the open singles, and this is how it looked at the start
0:14:06 > 0:14:11of the day. We knew the identity of five members of the quarterfinals,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Jason Greenslade, Darren Burnett, Mark Dawes and Mark Royal, and in
0:14:14 > 0:14:18the bottom half, Mervyn King was also true. Three outstanding matches
0:14:18 > 0:14:22still to go, and we start with the match between Les Gillett,
0:14:22 > 0:14:28semifinalist last year, and 2016 runner-up Robert Paxton. It is 7-7
0:14:28 > 0:14:37as we join it in the eighth end of the first set.
0:15:45 > 0:15:51That slipped through the gap. Started to clap that one, they knew
0:15:51 > 0:15:58it was close.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35I'm surprised Les Gillett is short with that because, even if he'd gone
0:16:35 > 0:16:44past the jack by a yard, it would have been a good bowl.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48At this stage in the set, you can be a bit too negative at times and
0:16:48 > 0:16:53leave yourself in trouble.If he turns that jack round the corner,
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Les Gillett is in a lot of bother, no doubt. Just try and draw the
0:16:57 > 0:17:05shot. That's the first target.He is on the line. Gets back to the jack.
0:17:05 > 0:17:15Well played.A big bowl.
0:17:15 > 0:17:27I think he'll push into it. Unnecessary now, but it's just held
0:17:27 > 0:17:33off centre rink, so it's a good target for Les.This is the one to
0:17:33 > 0:17:40play, split of the red bowl, peel that Greenaway.He's got the angle,
0:17:40 > 0:17:45but if he comes off that, he pushes his own bowl. At this moment, it's a
0:17:45 > 0:17:52difficult shot to beat on the draw. The only problem he has is that he's
0:17:52 > 0:17:56only got one bowl in there, but he'd be desperately unlucky to take that
0:17:56 > 0:18:04out. Les is going for the draw, but let's see his line on this. He has
0:18:04 > 0:18:11to be behind the jack, at the very least.A better effort.I'm not sure
0:18:11 > 0:18:18about that. He's got no back position now, and you said, if
0:18:18 > 0:18:22you're going to play anything into it, it would be better to do it with
0:18:22 > 0:18:27the third bowl, last bowl recovery then, but he's left himself almost
0:18:27 > 0:18:35nothing but a perfect draw.
0:18:55 > 0:19:09I am surprised at that.Correction, Les has four time-outs remaining.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12The back position, OK, it's sitting with green at the moment, but it's
0:19:12 > 0:19:21only just behind the jack.He is only one down at the moment, Les, so
0:19:21 > 0:19:26he'll be thinking, don't give an extra away at this stage.That's the
0:19:26 > 0:19:31problem he put himself into by not being up on his third bowl. He'd
0:19:31 > 0:19:36have been behind the jack, he had a running bowl.Perfect crawl would
0:19:36 > 0:19:40get the shot. Much better with this. Just needs to run, get past the
0:19:40 > 0:19:50green. Good effort. Very close. But no cigar.
0:20:06 > 0:20:12Both players have played very well in this set. If it was a drawn set,
0:20:12 > 0:20:17it would be a fair result, because they have played really good stuff,
0:20:17 > 0:20:23both of them.
0:20:24 > 0:20:36Jack Lenox, 29.5 metres. -- jack length.
0:20:50 > 0:20:59Robert used to play with a cap, but he hasn't done so for a while.
0:20:59 > 0:21:06House lights here are sufficient for the needs.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12the needs. We don't get the big bank of light that we used to have years
0:21:12 > 0:21:21ago, John, and they were very hot. He's given his cap to Jason
0:21:21 > 0:21:28Greenslade this year.Mmm.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Greenslade this year.Mmm.Gave Jason a bit of stick last night
0:21:30 > 0:21:38about his hat.He's good value for it, isn't he?I told them I thought
0:21:38 > 0:21:42he'd had a head transplant -- I told him I thought he'd had a hair
0:21:42 > 0:21:51transplant and he was covering it.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Les, first to the jack.
0:22:43 > 0:22:52A foot more weight. Always frustrating, David, when you are on
0:22:52 > 0:22:58a line like that and it's just a foot short.It is, and it's also a
0:22:58 > 0:23:06blocker for the running shot.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Robert on the backhand, looking for the red bowl, about a foot or so
0:23:11 > 0:23:19behind the jack.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Has to be careful of the red bowl. Very good, he gets in front of that
0:23:26 > 0:23:27bowl.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38I still believed he was going for the one against the red, but a
0:23:38 > 0:23:43perfect delivery in many ways. I think Les will have to play into
0:23:43 > 0:23:50this, open it up a bit. He needs to get the shot to get something out of
0:23:50 > 0:23:55the set. He has got the last bowl. This is where his previous one, just
0:23:55 > 0:24:00a foot in front, becomes a guard. Yet, gets the edge of that, it will
0:24:00 > 0:24:07take him away from the target.Well, he's on the inside edge. He's going
0:24:07 > 0:24:11for the runner.He needed it full. That was the problem. Any edge took
0:24:11 > 0:24:17him away.As soon as it dropped short, it was always going to be a
0:24:17 > 0:24:24guard.
0:24:24 > 0:24:30guard.Robbed by his own bowl. Dropped down under the line. He more
0:24:30 > 0:24:41or less realised a long way away that that was going to happen.
0:24:41 > 0:24:47The re-spots position, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Robert decides
0:24:47 > 0:24:57to go to it. Yes, don't be in any hurry for this one. Needs to make
0:24:57 > 0:25:10the position. He needs to get to that re-spots.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27It looks to me as if he is an jack line but if he gets up to the red
0:25:27 > 0:25:34bowl it will be enough. That's got to cover it. I can't see Les taking
0:25:34 > 0:25:37two green out without the jack moving, so I think this will have to
0:25:37 > 0:25:47be similar to this last one, and hope for a good result.
0:25:47 > 0:25:54He's gone back to a different style of shot. I am surprised. It's not
0:25:54 > 0:26:04too far away.In the area, isn't he? He needs the jack is and the bowl.
0:26:04 > 0:26:18Fantastic shot!Absolutely fantastic. Brilliant bowl from Les.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22That was stunning from Les Gillett, and it led to a tight first set. We
0:26:22 > 0:26:26rejoin the match in the seventh end of the second set, with Paxton 5-4
0:26:26 > 0:26:34lead. -- 5-4 ahead.
0:26:55 > 0:27:02Les will note you'll need to get a bit closer to that first bowl. He
0:27:02 > 0:27:08was good early on in the match but, the last few ends, he's skipping a
0:27:08 > 0:27:14beat and giving Robert some chances. Robert hasn't taken advantage. --
0:27:14 > 0:27:25he's slipping a couple and giving Robert some chances.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Still a bit of room there.
0:28:13 > 0:28:21Is it getting a bit edgy out there? It's a bit tense, the sixth end, and
0:28:21 > 0:28:28really, he wants to win this one.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30really, he wants to win this one.It will cost you a two or a three if
0:28:30 > 0:28:38you don't get inside that. Got to run that. Oh, he's not reaching.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43Odette, Les. He was making three, and not a time to be short. -- oh,
0:28:43 > 0:28:50Les. Opportunity to get over the jack for Robert, try and secure a
0:28:50 > 0:28:58good single. That was a great chance. Robert will expect Les to be
0:28:58 > 0:29:08closer with his last bowl. He wants this one really close.
0:29:12 > 0:29:19Just about made it.It's closer, but you'd still expect Les to draw with
0:29:19 > 0:29:25the shot.Needs a good one here. Can't afford to be loose with this.
0:29:25 > 0:29:31He could end up dropping a treble, and dropping three shots at this
0:29:31 > 0:29:38stage would be good.Goodness, he's gone on to the backhand. That's a
0:29:38 > 0:29:43hard thing to do. It's quite easy to fall short on this side.That's what
0:29:43 > 0:29:52he's done. Oh! 'Swe see that so often. You just move on to the other
0:29:52 > 0:29:57side and it just pulls up three or four feet. There's no reason to
0:29:57 > 0:30:09change. He had a wonderful opportunity to get in on the open
0:30:09 > 0:30:16side, but... David Brent and could play that really well, he was ready
0:30:16 > 0:30:22adept at changing his hand on the last bowl but, on this portable
0:30:22 > 0:30:25rink, it's been noticeable, especially from the commentary box,
0:30:25 > 0:30:28when you move onto the other side, you are more than likely to drop
0:30:28 > 0:30:37draws. This is potentially a match end for Robert Paxton.He needs to
0:30:37 > 0:30:45make discount. Big opportunity to add this. He's got the line.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48add this. He's got the line. As it got the?If it clears his own bowl,
0:30:48 > 0:30:53it could bend in.Always too happy with that.That's a shocker, and he
0:30:53 > 0:31:00knows it.Both players.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05knows it.Both players.Two out. If it's only two, and we think it is,
0:31:05 > 0:31:11Les is still in with a chance. Robert's target really should have
0:31:11 > 0:31:15been inside that green bowl to the red bowl, drop it outside for four.
0:31:15 > 0:31:22It was a dead weight draw. He needed to make it count, that's all. He's
0:31:22 > 0:31:29still coming out of this end well. Not a great end by either player.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34Probably the worst end of the match. A loose end, but you can't keep the
0:31:34 > 0:31:40standard up over time. You'll always the odd one that goes in there
0:31:40 > 0:31:45and... It's been a high-quality game, and when there is a loose end,
0:31:45 > 0:31:51you really only want to lose a one, not two or three.But Les will know
0:31:51 > 0:31:58that wasn't the time to play it.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00I do not think this
0:32:00 > 0:32:06I do not think this rate ball is in contention. The other Red Bull looks
0:32:06 > 0:32:11closer.
0:32:16 > 0:32:24-- red bowl. Didn't even go down there. You get the impression that
0:32:24 > 0:32:32the measure is comfortable.Two shots, Robert Paxton.
0:32:32 > 0:32:44shots, Robert Paxton.That could've been worse for Les.It is a bad end.
0:32:44 > 0:32:567-4. Les needs a single and a double to force the tie-break.
0:33:02 > 0:33:24Jacklin 29.5 metres. -- Jacklin. -- jack length.
0:34:00 > 0:34:05Once again Les is not getting that first bowl in. He is struggling a
0:34:05 > 0:34:12little bit. There have been just a few ends in this latter part of the
0:34:12 > 0:34:17set where he has not been as prolific as he was in the first set.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21He has just fallen away at the wrong time at the moment and Robert
0:34:21 > 0:34:27realises it. He needs to try and pile the pressure on.
0:34:51 > 0:35:11Will he run again?Two Corine.He never looks like getting it.
0:35:12 > 0:35:21Robert Paxton has a big chance to put Les in even more trouble here.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24He has just lost his way a little bit and Robert pulled up in that
0:35:24 > 0:35:44one. He was down to four seconds. Robert has no time out remaining.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01And nice and safe white line. He does not want to move the Reds. Get
0:36:01 > 0:36:12in there and drop over the Jack. That is his natural game, to draw
0:36:12 > 0:36:18things off, but it has been a bit of a struggle. It is worth arriving,
0:36:18 > 0:36:23this one. Just try to push into it. If he is going on his forehand he is
0:36:23 > 0:36:32going heavy. Oh, that was a really good strike but unlikely results. He
0:36:32 > 0:36:36got the edge of the Jack and pushed it towards the green ball. A really
0:36:36 > 0:36:47good it though.A touch in the ditch now, Les.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51now, Les.Well, although there is a touch in the dish which Robert Hass
0:36:51 > 0:37:03to score this off. He must really try very hard to get this right.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05try very hard to get this right.He certainly doesn't want to leave the
0:37:05 > 0:37:11green ball on its own there. A nice white line to get past the front
0:37:11 > 0:37:15ropes. He has played this well and if there is a turn on the Jack it
0:37:15 > 0:37:22will be very good.I am not sure he can arts for much more than that, he
0:37:22 > 0:37:25paid the right ball at the right time to close this match off and get
0:37:25 > 0:37:29a place in the quarterfinal. It has been a tough game.He played that
0:37:29 > 0:37:38really well.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42really well.Les will look to hit this now on his forehand and he
0:37:42 > 0:37:55needs a really good drive. He looks under. Has he got something? No.
0:37:55 > 0:38:02It was a fascinating game, no doubt about that. Real quality throughout.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Les Gillett and Robert Paxton were towed to toe in the first set with
0:38:05 > 0:38:09eight shops all and it was magnificent to watch, but Les
0:38:09 > 0:38:15Gillett just went off the bowl -- Boyle in the second set when Robert
0:38:15 > 0:38:25Paxton took over and eased his way into 9-4 and he takes the match.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29Robert Paxton looking very good form. Up next it was Scott Ed
0:38:29 > 0:38:42against Harlow. Harlow got the best start. It is one apiece.
0:39:47 > 0:40:00A good second bowl.That first bowl just cannot leave it where it is.
0:40:00 > 0:40:09Cannot just drop it down three feet.
0:40:13 > 0:40:18Now he has two short bowls by the time he plays his third grade will
0:40:18 > 0:40:27lying three.Greg is sitting on to the forehand very deliberately.
0:40:35 > 0:40:42It is a closer number one but still open on that side. That is just for
0:40:42 > 0:40:48Scott Edwards 's backhand.
0:41:04 > 0:41:10Well, that is really disappointing from Scott. All three bowls are poor
0:41:10 > 0:41:15bowls and he cannot afford to be down there.At this level in
0:41:15 > 0:41:24particular but at a club level that would get punished.
0:41:36 > 0:41:41He needs to bend into it. It doesn't want to leave a catch.That is
0:41:41 > 0:41:45exactly what he has done. We have left it short of the rest on three
0:41:45 > 0:41:53good bowls there. It is still a very soft four at the moment simply
0:41:53 > 0:41:57because of the three short balls.We know he is more than capable of
0:41:57 > 0:42:03drawing this. We just need to compose himself and the is at stopI
0:42:03 > 0:42:06am just looking if he is going to play this on the forehand forefront
0:42:06 > 0:42:12plant. He is. There is a plant coming in. He is through the gap. It
0:42:12 > 0:42:18is different. It took one away. I am not sure about it. The plant was
0:42:18 > 0:42:25there. He was bringing one read into it but, a bit of a, obviously he
0:42:25 > 0:42:31wasn't confident to draw it and that sends a message.Yes. Everything
0:42:31 > 0:42:34would have needed to go right down that strike to get anything out of
0:42:34 > 0:42:41it. He did reduce it.
0:42:53 > 0:43:02Jack length 28.5 metres.
0:43:34 > 0:43:39Short bowls. Just focus your mind to push through to the next end. Not
0:43:39 > 0:43:51unusual, but better to have it there.
0:44:11 > 0:44:17He is having to swap sides again, Scott. He does not seem to be
0:44:17 > 0:44:27totally convinced. Just lost his way completely at the moment. Greg is
0:44:27 > 0:44:33lying two but there is nothing very close.
0:44:43 > 0:44:52The best bowls so far. Unless Scott gets back on his game here this is
0:44:52 > 0:44:58not going to last for very long. All over the park at the moment.Yes, he
0:44:58 > 0:45:08is.He is running now. He need to connection.He has got a gap, has
0:45:08 > 0:45:20he? Two out. It is pretty good to take two away but at 4-1 he really
0:45:20 > 0:45:24needed that Jack back to the red balls. You see this so often it is
0:45:24 > 0:45:29just a drip, drip of constant pressure from Greg and as soon as
0:45:29 > 0:45:36Scott Edwards starts to loosen up then the shots start appearing.Yes,
0:45:36 > 0:45:40I think it is more of a case of Scots losing his line and length of
0:45:40 > 0:45:46it. Greg has been playing OK but it has some pepper in it.
0:45:56 > 0:46:03Well, that is a looser one from Greg. Will he go for the ball?After
0:46:03 > 0:46:09a drive you would be tempted to but it is not an easy draw. He could
0:46:09 > 0:46:13play a controlled way to it and try and pick up the Jack and push the
0:46:13 > 0:46:18ball out. There is a good option that because at least if he plays
0:46:18 > 0:46:25controlled weight he will get back to the Jack.He is playing the bowl
0:46:25 > 0:46:31on the Jack. The Jack would be good. Close this time. Oh, I don't believe
0:46:31 > 0:46:40it. Oh, dear, oh, dear. That might actually cost him another one. It is
0:46:40 > 0:46:47an absolute shocker. It is just the one but it is a shocking results.In
0:46:47 > 0:46:51the end the lead of Greg Harlow proved unassailable. As hard as
0:46:51 > 0:46:54Scott Edwards tried he couldn't peg back the deficit and the world
0:46:54 > 0:47:00number one is through to the quarterfinals, winning 9-69- three.
0:47:00 > 0:47:04Now we come to the one outstanding match from the last 16 between
0:47:04 > 0:47:09former champion Stuart Anderson and local lad Wayne Willgress. Here is
0:47:09 > 0:47:19what happened in that match.
0:47:22 > 0:47:292- -- two fours he has scored in this match. He has levelled it off
0:47:29 > 0:47:40and then again, there on the sixth end he levelled things at 6-6.
0:47:42 > 0:47:46Jack length 27 metres.
0:48:10 > 0:48:14He knew that was just over the weight. Still a good starter,
0:48:14 > 0:48:23though.
0:48:38 > 0:48:53Just over one foot, the gap.A foot? Yes.
0:48:54 > 0:48:58Oh, this looks like it is getting here just a little bit on the quick
0:48:58 > 0:49:09side. It needs to bend. Just over. To macro green.He realises that was
0:49:09 > 0:49:14a brilliance chance. Stewart Anderson doesn't play the first ball
0:49:14 > 0:49:24full foot and not just. Here is the adjustment.
0:49:24 > 0:49:33adjustment.Yes, it had to happen. The gap is seven inches.I would be
0:49:33 > 0:49:37inclined to stick to the backhand. That forehand he has played well on
0:49:37 > 0:49:50occasions but he has needed a couple of goes to get it right.
0:49:52 > 0:50:01He has just sneaked it. A good call. If you remember the last time coming
0:50:01 > 0:50:09up this way he was dropping short from the changeover and.
0:50:13 > 0:50:25from the changeover and.Stuart has got to follow Wayne in there now.
0:50:28 > 0:50:34It is a light bit of weight.That is what I was saying before, what that
0:50:34 > 0:50:39forehand can do to you. When played it well, to be fair. The good
0:50:39 > 0:50:43memory. He remembered to give it a bit of extra push but Stuart didn't.
0:50:43 > 0:50:48Now, can he trailed the Jack?He does get the Jack with a foot of
0:50:48 > 0:50:52weight then that would be ideal for him. It doesn't want to overplay it.
0:50:52 > 0:50:58It is easy to drift past.He is lying one at the moment I'm trying
0:50:58 > 0:51:06to draw for two.Not bad as well. He is very close. You gets a bend. If
0:51:06 > 0:51:13he gets the bend he has got this., That is unlucky, really I'm lucky,
0:51:13 > 0:51:17he could have buried that in there. He is giving Stuart absolutely
0:51:17 > 0:51:22nothing to play. He is lying for macro shots but the Jack is out in
0:51:22 > 0:51:28the open.It went a bit far for Wayne. He caught it a little bit too
0:51:28 > 0:51:33firm.I thought he was just going to get back to it to lack it in the
0:51:33 > 0:51:36back -- Lockett in the back ball and Stewart would have been in so much
0:51:36 > 0:51:46trouble. He
0:51:55 > 0:51:58still has a chance to get out of it, though, but he is usually pretty
0:51:58 > 0:52:02good at these offset jacks. He is close by as to pick it up because he
0:52:02 > 0:52:05is heavy. Oh, dear, May. Oh, dear, oh, dear. Double fours, back to back
0:52:05 > 0:52:07the Stewart Anderson. It is not over yet but four shots is an incredible
0:52:07 > 0:52:10results. What a great turnaround. Stuart Little too eager to get to
0:52:10 > 0:52:23it.Well, his target now will be a couple of twos.
0:52:23 > 0:52:28couple of twos. One short either end will be enough.An opportunity for
0:52:28 > 0:52:36Wayne Willgress to make the quarterfinal. He needs to keep it
0:52:36 > 0:52:47steady now, compose himself, don't do anything silly.
0:52:48 > 0:52:57An amazing turnaround, isn't it?You do not see many back-to-back fours
0:52:57 > 0:53:02at this level.You certainly do not and you do not proceed against
0:53:02 > 0:53:09someone like Stewart Anderson.
0:53:17 > 0:53:23You can sort of understand it at the start of the week. The singles maybe
0:53:23 > 0:53:28have players just off form. Not in the second round against the world
0:53:28 > 0:53:33number seven.
0:53:44 > 0:53:50The last bowl, the gap is five inches. Your goal is four inches
0:53:50 > 0:53:56short of the Jack, I.
0:54:09 > 0:54:15No, he is the wrong side of this. We wanted to be on the other side.
0:54:15 > 0:54:21Stewart Anderson is in with another chance. You still wouldn't bet
0:54:21 > 0:54:26against him, would you? No no, he is capable of putting two good ends
0:54:26 > 0:54:30together. It is very difficult for him. Wayne has got this really big
0:54:30 > 0:54:38drive that he could use if he is in trouble.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41trouble.He has missed a couple of times on the drive and there is
0:54:41 > 0:54:47nothing easy about this. He may be tempted to play a little runner.He
0:54:47 > 0:54:52is a good target, isn't it? He's more than capable of hitting this.
0:54:52 > 0:55:00He could clear those reds and in to the Jack.Closer this time.Got it.
0:55:00 > 0:55:07We had to get through the gap. How far where is he? He is a bit of a
0:55:07 > 0:55:14distance away from it. He will be very happy with that result. He
0:55:14 > 0:55:27could easily have taken the two bowls out with that.
0:55:29 > 0:55:35Expect Stewart to draw this shot and then he needs Wayne to beat it.It
0:55:35 > 0:55:41needs to stop, Iniesta stop though. Oh, dear. That really should not
0:55:41 > 0:55:47happen.
0:55:47 > 0:55:56happen.Two.A deep breath by Wayne. He knows anything closely and he is
0:55:56 > 0:56:03in the quarterfinal.It is a match like against the world number seven
0:56:03 > 0:56:11and with those two fours taming out of nowhere and he got them. It could
0:56:11 > 0:56:17be very close here.Wow. That will take some beating.That is
0:56:17 > 0:56:21brilliant, that is absolutely brilliant. Stewart Anderson a couple
0:56:21 > 0:56:26of ends ago was in control and four shots up with four ends to go and
0:56:26 > 0:56:32suddenly he has got one bowl to stay in this championship. He is not too
0:56:32 > 0:56:37wide.He is inside the line. I do not know if you will hold that. Will
0:56:37 > 0:56:42it start to bend away? How good it is weight? He has gone. It is all
0:56:42 > 0:56:49over. Three shots to Wayne Willgress and he definitely finished that
0:56:49 > 0:56:58game. My goodness me. A brilliant performance from the young man. Two
0:56:58 > 0:57:01fours added three and he takes out the world number seven Stewart
0:57:01 > 0:57:04Anderson, and look at the crowd. They were right behind in all the
0:57:04 > 0:57:07way. A brilliant performance under tab on the back from Stewart
0:57:07 > 0:57:13Anderson. The crowd were very fair with him but my goodness, Wayne had
0:57:13 > 0:57:17the crowd all the way with him, and he is through to the quarterfinals
0:57:17 > 0:57:22to play Greg Harlow. I am not even sure if he can believe it.It has
0:57:22 > 0:57:29taken it out of him, he is very emotional. The girlfriend down.
0:57:29 > 0:57:3311-6, they put one shot there but it was actually three, I think that it
0:57:33 > 0:57:39doesn't matter. What a fantastic performance that was, but it is
0:57:39 > 0:57:45Wayne Willgress who goes through to the quarterfinals.Well done to
0:57:45 > 0:57:50Wayne Willgress, he has the last man into the quarterfinals where world
0:57:50 > 0:57:54number one Greg Harlow weights and elsewhere we have Jason Greenslade
0:57:54 > 0:57:57up against Darren Burnett and Mark Royal up against Mark Dawes and
0:57:57 > 0:58:01Mervyn King against Robert Paxton. We are back on the red button on
0:58:01 > 0:58:05Friday at 10am for Mark Dawes against Mark Royal and then on BBC
0:58:05 > 0:58:09Two at 1pm for Jason Greenslade against Darren Burnett and Wayne
0:58:09 > 0:58:13Willgress taking on the world number one, Greg Harlow. What a horrific
0:58:13 > 0:58:18day it has been at Potters and what a privilege it was to watch a
0:58:18 > 0:58:21sublime performance from Katherine Rednall in winning a third ladies
0:58:21 > 0:58:33singles title. From the team here at Potters, goodbye.
