Following the silver ranked Lion City Cup and Bowls Scotland European Open, there’s no change in the leaders of the World Bowls Series ranking lists – just a juggling of Top 10 positions.

Malaysia’s Emma Firyana Saroji and Corey Wedlock, Australia, continue to hold the No 1 spots.

Australian Open women’s singles winner Jamie-Lee Worsnop swaps places with Alyani Jamil, of Malaysia, to clinch second spot, while in the men’s list there’s more position swapping with Jason Banks, of Scotland, is now sixth, Izzat Shameer Dzulkeple seventh, Daniel Davies Jnr from Wales is eighth, Scotland’s Stewart Anderson ninth and Dinesh Kumar from India 10th.

All eyes will be on the rankings update next month which will include a bumper haul of events headlined by the platinum Commonwealth Games. Also included will be the silver ranked national championships in Scotland, Wales and England, the Australian Indoor Championships, and the Canadian Lawn Bowls Championships.
