Fingers crossed for another good night.

Bowls Scotland results update:

By and large a good day for our gents today. In the afternoon in the all Lenzie tie at Banton & Kelvinhead, Alan Laurie's rink managed to overcome the challenge of Willie Milne's four in a game where only 16 shots were scored in the 15 end game. Whilst there was an 11 shot score difference, this clearly did not reflect how tight the game had been. Congratulations and commiserations to all.

The evening games saw wins for our Under 25 Singles, the Triples and Fours, meaning that so far we have representation in 8 of 14 ladies and gents disciplines at District semi-final stage, with possible 2 more to be added.

Drew Cunningham's game in the Singles was not played due to green conditions, with arrangements in place to complete the fixture on Monday coming.

At Lenzie, seven fixtures were held today, with some great contests, and these saw wins for -

Milton of Campsie in the Over 55s Singles
Condorrat in the Over 55s Fours
Westermains in the Under 25s Singles
Milton of Campsie in the Singles
Kirkintilloch in the Pairs
Westermains in the Triples
Campsie in the Fours

Well done to all involved.
