Scotland fails to secure bowls medals as para-bowlers reach semis

"

There will be no bowls medals for Scotland at their home Commonwealth Games - but there remains a chance of two further Para-bowls medals. Games veterans Paul Foster and Alex Marshall - who won two golds together here in 2014 - faced an anxious wait to see if they'd qualified for the semi-finals, needing table-toppers Canada to lose to Norfolk Island. Having beat South Africa on Saturday morning, bouncing back from their tough tiebreaker defeat to the Canadians on Friday, Scotland's men's pairs were watching the later game with great interest - until it became apparent the favour required was not forthcoming.

Scotland's bowlers and para-bowlers ended a disappointing week in hall three of the SEC Centre with just one medal. The Para-mixed pairs of lead Mary Stevenson and her director Jim Aitken and skip Robert Barr and his director Sarah Jane Ewing won the sport's first gold on offer at the 2026 Commonwealth Games - hoping it would kick-start Scotland's time on the carpet. Up first on Sunday were Mary Wilson and Pauline Wilson against Malaysia.
