Stowmarket High School pupil Katherine Rednall has moved into the semi-finals of the Mixed Pairs World Matchplay, at Norfolk’s Potters Resort, with playing partner Andy Thomson.

Rednall, 18, who makes her debut in the singles competition against Eleanor Gass tomorrow afternoon, lost the first set with Thomson 9-3.

However, the pair fought back to emphatically level the match at 1-1, winning the second set 13-1.

In the tie-breaker, Rednall and Thomson, who will now face the winners of tonight’s game between Darren Burnett and Karen Murphy and Greg Harlow and Janice Gower in Sunday’s semi-final (3.30pm), won 2-1.
