South Wales accountant Laura Thomas has bowled over international competition to become the first Welsh winner of the women’s World Indoor Bowls title.
The 29 year-old from Skewen near Neath works for independent chartered accountants WBV Ltd.
She beat off stiff opposition from her English counterpart and reigning champion Katherine Rednall to take the ‘Just Retirement Women’s World Singles Champion’ title at Great Yarmouth.
However Laura is no stranger to sporting success, this being her fourth world bowls title, and she regularly represents Wales at home and abroad.
Inspired by her bowling older brother Laura started playing at Skewen Bowls Club when she was 12, and has been dominating the green ever since.
Said Laura, “I am absolutely delighted to win this title and to be the first Welsh winner is even more special.”
“Yet again Laura has proved her sporting talent and all the team here at WBV are thrilled by her latest success,” said WBV partner David Rowe.
