The ‘Just’ 2019 World Indoor Bowls Championships
Congratulations to Simon Skelton for reaching the Final of the 2019 World Championships
held at Potters, a fantastic achievement.
Simon who was unseeded, played some great bowls to finish Runner-up in this year’s
championships beating a number of seeds on the way to the final.
The first round saw Simon beating 3rd seed David Gourlay MBE of Scotland 8-7, 8-5.
In the second round 14th seed Jason Greenslades of Wales was beaten 6-6, 6-5.
Sixth seed Darren Burnett of Scotland was Simon’s opponent in the quarter final, another
close fought game saw the Nottingham player going through to the semis 6-6, 6-5.
The semi final saw Simon up against fellow Englishman Nick Brett, the 7th seed had been
having a great tournament and took the first set 9-2, in the second set Simon was 1-7
down before fighting back to take the set 8-7 to force a 3 end tie break which he won 2-1
to reach to the final of the World Indoor Bowls Championships for the first time, having
three times previously reached the semi finals.
The final was between Simon and the ninth seed, Scottish Champion Stewart Anderson.
Stewart won the first set 11-5. In the second set Simon battled away to win the set 8-6 and
force another tie break, this was the first time in the entire competition that the Scott had
lost a set. Stewart Anderson held his nerve to win the tie break 2-0 by drawing to two
re-spotted jacks with the final bowl of each end to regain the trophy which he previously
won in 2013.

Sudoku
For those new to Sudoku the rules are quite simple
All you have to do is fill in the empty squares so
that each row, each column and each 3 x 3 block
contains all of the numbers 1 to 9. This means that
the total of each column, each row & each block
must add up to 45.
This is a slightly more difficult puzzle, which has 31
of the 81 squares already filled in and should be
possible to complete in around 15 - 30 minutes.
