10/10/2023 Congratulations to Kate Williams who represented England in the short mat British Isles singles. Kate beat Scotland and Wales before meeting Ireland who also had won both games. Kate played well in the match against Ireland but just missed out on winning the title. Runner-Up is still a very good result. Kate was also the England team captain for the team event and once again England finished second to Ireland. Over the two days Kate played 114 short mat ends of bowls.
