For the fifth time, Paul Foster and Alex Marshall of Scotland have jointly won the World Indoor Bowls.
In a final pitted against four players who have all triumphed in the world singles competition, they defeated compatriots Stuart Anderson and Darren Burnett, who are now two-time champions, 11-5 12-7.
Tony Allcock and David Bryant, who won it six times between 1986 and 1992, are now one behind them in the rankings for Foster and Marshall’s first pair since 2019.
Asked about their continuing success, Foster told BBB Sport: “My hunger will not change and Alex is the same.
Age is just a number, and I’m delighted to win it once more.
“Stuart and Darren have a formidable record, even though they probably didn’t play as well as they could.”
Foster was “absolutely phenomenal,” according to Marshall, who has now won the pairs seven times to his partner’s six.
Prior to winning his first-round singles match with fellow Scotsman Martyn Rice, Anderson had earlier earlier in the day, but he had not reacted to his pair’s defeat.
Foster and Marshall, according to Burnett, “were exceptional.”
