    Standing on the podium with her best mate is the fondest memory of Jo Edwards' bowls career


    The multi-World Championship and Commonwealth games gold medallist has retired after two decades at the top of the sport.

    Edwards says playing alongside Val Smith has been a constant during her career, including their World Championship pairs win in 2008.



    Jo Edwards played 646 times for New Zealand, winning Commonwealth Games golds in 2002, 2014 and 2018.
