The 2024 World Bowls Indoor Championship is being staged in the Channel Islands at Guernsey Indoor Bowling Association.

Defending champion Julie Forrest (Scotland) will be back to defend her titles that she won last year at Warilla, NSW Australia, along with 2022 men’s single champion Michael Stepney also from Scotland. Stepney is a familiar face competing recently in the World Bowls Tourโ€™s World Indoor Bowls Championships at Potters Resorts.

Competitors in this year’s event include Loren Dion from the USA, who is well-known around the world for becoming the first player from the USA to win a medal at the prestigious Hong Kong International Bowls Classic in 2009 and recently won gold at the 2023 USA Open. Ali Forsyth from New Zealand returns back to the international stage after his last appearance at the Commonwealth Games in 2022 and last yearโ€™s World Champion of Champion winner Daniel Salmon, will both also be hard to beat.

On the women’s side of the event, in addition to Julie Forrest, Australian newcomer Samantha Atkinson will make her first appearance on the international stage, while 2023 World Bowls Championship women’s singles champion Tayla Bruce (New Zealand) will be one of the favourites. Ha Yat Ting from Hong Kong, China, Maureen Caesar from Jamaica and Elly Dolieslager from the Netherlands will also be looking to feature in the finals and take the trophy home.

World Bowls CEO, Neil Dalrymple, said: โ€œWorld Bowls, International Indoor Bowls Council and Guernsey Indoor Bowling Association have worked very well in partnership to deliver the 2024 event and we are looking forward to what will be a very competitive competition featuring many world class bowlers together with some players who are new to the world stage.”

The event takes place April 21-27.
