ANN Littlewood and Atherley are having the time of their lives in the Golden Charter English Women's indoor bowls championships this winter.

After years of trying to reach the national stages without success, Littlewood is through in both the Champion of Champions and the fours - and will chalk up a treble if Atherley win their Yetton Trophy quarter-final against Plymouth Civil Service this afternoon.

She plays at Loddon Vale in the last 16 of the Champion of Champions on Monday, February 26, and then teams up with Jackie Farmer, Liz Russell and skip Margaret Darkin in the fours starting on Thursday, March 1.
