England’s Louis Ridout and Sophie Tolchard, both from Kings BC, Devon, will take on representatives from all over the world at the upcoming World Singles Champion of Champions.

Almost 50 bowlers from 29 nations will compete at the event which takes place at Adelaide BC, South Australia, from Monday (28th October).

Ridout and Tolchard will represent England following their successes in the National Singles Championship in 2018.

The World Singles Champion of Champions will be played in two sections in both men’s and women’s events. The top of each section will go forward to the Semi-Final while the second and third placings in each section will be randomly drawn to play off for the remaining two places in the Semi-Final.
