ENGLAND international Tracey Powell enjoyed a double success when Herefordshire County Women's Bowling Association held their finals day on a good green at Weobley Bowling Club.

Powell carried off the two-wood sigles with a 17-10 success against Karen Tandler.

And the Leominster player also teamed up with her sister Linda Smith to carry off the pairs with a 22-12 success against Val Pedlingham and Toby Bennett.
