Podium Qualifiers Confirmed Following Weekend of Action

Bowls Scotland’s latest Podium events took place over the weekend, with players competing across Colinton Bowling Club, Aviemore Bowling Club, Charleston Bowling Club and Sighthill Bowling Club.

The Podium events form part of the Drive to Success – Player Pathway, giving players the opportunity to compete for a place at the upcoming two-day assessment weekend.

Qualifiers from each Podium event will now progress to the assessment weekend, where players will take part in a combination of drills, gameplay and further evaluation. This process will support the selection of Scotland squads for the 2026/27 programme.
