Hamilton’s Stewart Anderson was crowned the Scottish International Open champion for the second time following the tournament’s return to the World Bowls Tour calendar after three years away.The 37-year-old last lifted the title in 2018 when he beat international teammate Paul Foster, but this year he had to tackle an English opponent in the West Lothian showpiece.

And he easily brushed aside Simon Skelton, a player who he beat in the World Indoor Singles final in 2019.It continued a fine year for Anderson, who became a father again this summer, following his Open Pairs success at the World Indoor Championships and his Mixed Pairs triumph at World Bowls' flagship indoor event.

His comfortable 10-4 10-2 victory over surprise finalist Skelton rounded off an excellent three days for the Blantyre indoor club bowler, who was part of Scotland’s Commonwealth Games squad this summer.“I’ve absolutely loved this event,” he said after lifting the trophy in Livingston. “It’s local to me and it takes a lot of pressure off where you can just arrive in your own time.“The crowd, the staff, it’s been absolutely phenomenal.
