Newly recruited Henselite UK sponsored player Katherine Rednall became the youngest ever Ladies World Matchplay Single champion with a sensational performance against reigning champion Rebecca Field in the final at Potters Leisure Resort.

The Ipswich youngster showed no nerves or mercy as she left her more experienced Norfolk rival floundering on the ropes with a display that belied her 18 years as she hardly put a bowl out of place in a show of genuine class. The scoreline of 14-4 11-3 was a true reflection of the match as Rednall completely dominated and her opponent just had no answer to the sheer brilliance of the Ipswich girl in front of a packed crowd, who gave the Suffolk student a standing ovation.
