It's Ladies day at Potters Resorts, Hopton-On-Sea today, showcasing four quarter final matches in the Imagine Cruising World Indoor Bowls Ladies Matchplay Singles and Exeter's Nicole Rogers certainly set the bar extremely high in her opening game against Arbroath qualifier Ailsa Robertson - who was making her debut at Potters.
Rogers, a 25 year old Actuarial Consultant who bowls out of the Exonia Club, and who lost in at this stage last year to South Africa's Gillian Young in straight sets, didn't make that mistake this time round, never faltering throughout, with a dominating 10-2, 11-0 victory.
She only dropped singles on the first and fifth ends of the opening set and never put a foot wrong in the second set - with delicate draws to full out strikes, denying the 35 year old Elgin administrator on several occasions to rubber stamp her place in Wednesday's semi-final against the winner of today's match between defending champion Katherine Rednall or Lincolnshire's Annalisa Dunham.
RESULT LSQF2 Nicole Rogers (Eng) bt Ailsa Robertson (Scot) 10-2, 11-0.
