It was a largely successful day in the Gents Bowls Scotland District Finals with 3 of our 4 finalists winning to progress to Northfield!
In the afternoon, Jim Byron won 21-17 against Condorrat in the Over 55 Singles. This evening there were wins for Ryan Devine in the Junior Singles v Banton (21-17) & in the Triples for Jim Byron, Scott Wilson & Andrew Byron v Lenzie (19-7). In the Pairs, Ross & Elliot Reid unfortuately narrowly lost out to Kirkintilloch by 1 shot.
Massive congratulations to our teams, having 3 teams qualify for Northfield is a great achievement - with a shoutout to Jim for qualifying in 2 competitions! It is the 1st time since 2014 that we have had 3 Gents teams qualify in the same season.
Congratulations to the other qualifiers from the District!
Details on dates & fixtures will follow nearer the time.
Focus turns now to our Ladies Triples on Saturday who are looking to qualify too, they are looking to be the 1st Ladies Triples qualifers since 2013 (Iris MacKinnon, Jean Watson & Margaret Burns), good luck!
