2023 World Bowls Championships - Day Nine Preview

Today is yet another vital day for Scotland at the 2023 World Bowls Championships, with the group stages of the Women’s Pairs, Women’s Triples and Men’s Fours reaching their conclusion.

Depending on their results, Scotland are well positioned to qualify for the quarter-finals of both the Women’s Pairs and Men’s Fours. Our Women’s Triples team of Carla Banks, Stacey McDougall and Caroline Brown also have an outside chance of advancing if they win and other results go in their favour. Meanwhile, in the Men’s Singles, Iain McLean has a busy schedule with another five group matches to be completed over the next two days.

Emma McIntyre and Claire Anderson’s penultimate group match in the Women’s Pairs against Cook Islands can be viewed on Bowls Australia’s Facebook live stream tonight at 2.30am (BST).

Scotland’s full day nine schedule can be found below, we will round up results at the end of play.
