Bowls: Lothian aces get Delhi call

INTEREST in the bowls sector of the Commonwealth Games in Delhi in October has been raised in the Lothian area by the announcement this week of a 12-person team to represent Scotland in a major International Test Series.

There was a strong contingent of Lothians bowlers named in the squad for the eight-nation event which also takes place in Delhi from April 6 to 10 with the countries involved expected to include England and Australia.

David Peacock, Neil Speirs, Wayne Hogg,

Agnes Melrose and Lauren Baillie all have Lothians links and will be hoping their inclusion for the April event bodes well ahead of the official squad naming for the Commonwealth Games.
