Scotland's Bowls Team Aims for Medals at Commonwealth Games
With a combined total of 13 medals, Alex 'Tattie' Marshall and Paul Foster headline the Scottish bowls team for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Glasgow this summer.
The highly experienced pair will compete together in the men's pairs event, an event they won at the Glasgow 2014 Games.
Selected for his eighth Commonwealth Games, Marshall, who holds seven medals, expressed his pride in representing Scotland once again.
"It is always such an honour and privilege to be selected to represent Team Scotland at the Commonwealth Games.
To have another opportunity to be a part of a home Games is also not lost on me, and I know that Paul and I will give it our very best to try and win a medal for the team."
Marshall's niece, Beth Riva, who secured the 2025 World Championship mixed pairs title alongside Jason Banks last year, will partner Caroline Brown in the women's pairs event.
Jason Banks will also make his debut for Team Scotland in the singles competition.
For the first time in Commonwealth Games history, all bowls and para bowls events will be held indoors at the SEC Centre.
In the para bowls category, Pauline Wilson, Garry Brown, Robert Barr, and his director Sarah Jane Ewing aim to defend their gold medals after topping the podium at Birmingham 2022.
