They will be going for glory in the English Indoor Bowls Association Champion of Champions finals weekend at Warner Leisure Hotels, Lakeside Coastal Village, starting tomorrow.

Rednall will want to go one better than last year when she lost in the Champion of Champions final to Rebecca Field.

But it will be a tough task with newly-crowned world singles champion Faulkner in the line-up.

England internationals Sophie Tolchard, Carole Baker and Janice Gower are also among those standing in her way.

Last year’s world singles champion Greg Harlow, who won the first Warner Leisure Hotels sponsored Champion of Champions 20 years ago, will be expecting a real battle from fellow English Internationals Simon Skelton and Mark Royal.

The trio are aiming to follow Nicky Brett by being the only players to win the title for the third time.
