Harriet Stevens is an English international lawn and indoor bowler, first capped by the England team in 2018. [1] [2] [3]
Stevens made the EIBA Junior International team in the 2018 home international series in Nottingham. In 2019, she remained in the team, which was her last year of eligibility, in addition to making the EIBA Women's Senior team the same year.
Also in 2019, Stevens won two mixed national titles, winning the mixed fours with Exonia teammates Cassidy Hampton (nee Lenton), Kieran Kniverton and Sam Tolchard [4] and the mixed pairs, a few days later with Sam Tolchard. [5]
In 2015, Stevens won the national Bowls England National Championships (mixed fours) title with Devon teammates Sophie Tolchard, Lee Haywood and Ryan Whitlock. Stevens returned the following year in 2016 and reached the final of the Bowls England National Championships (women's pairs) with Kings B.C teammate Cassidy Hampton, narrowly losing out on the title by one shot on an extra end against club teammates Sophie Tolchard and Natalie Chestney. In the same year Harriet went on to win the Bowls England National Championships (women's junior pairs), this time teaming up with Sophie Tolchard to beat Somerset in the final.
In 2018, she was named as the junior international captain and lifted the junior trophy at a home series for the ninth consecutive year. [6] Stevens captained the team for the next three years up until her final year in 2022 (played then due to the pandemic). [7]

In 2021, she won the triples with Sophie Tolchard and Emma Cooper [9] and repeated the success two years later, at the 2023 Bowls England National Finals but this time partnering Tolchard and Nicole Rogers. This was her fifth national title [10] and in between the triples championship gold medals she won the pairs with Tolchard at the 2022 Bowls England National Finals. [11]
In November 2023, she won the silver medal in the pairs with Nicole Rogers, at the prestigious Hong Kong International Bowls Classic. [12] The pair made history by becoming the first English women to reach the final at the Hong Kong Classic. [13]
In 2024, Stevens won the triples title at the British Isles Bowls Championships [14] and shortly afterwards won the pairs gold medal with Nicole Rogers, at the 2024 European Bowls Championships. [15]
