Bowls: Anderson finally gets better of Foster to win first world indoor singles title

After losing in three WBT finals, it was fourth time lucky for Auchinleck's Stewart Anderson when he won the Fred.Olsen Cruise Lines World Indoor Singles title decider against Ayrshire compatriot Paul Foster in one of the closest ever witnessed.

In the opening set, both won five ends apiece. The scoreline stood at 4-4 after six but a double gave Foster the edge at 6-4. However, Anderston countered with four inch-perfect deliveries to take an 8-6 advantage and he increased that to 10-6 with two ends remaining.
