#TeamScot2018

Scottish Disability Sport is delighted to continue to provide an overview of the sports that Scottish Para athletes will compete in as members of Team Scotland at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games. Today we are highlighting the sport of Para Lawn Bowls and our magnificent seven: Irene Edgar, Robert Barr, David Thomas (Director), Sarah Jane Ewing (Director), Garry Brown, Mike Nicoll and Michael Simpson.

Bowls is a game of skill, precision and tactical awareness, appropriate for players of all ages and abilities. Bowls inspires teamwork and quality communication between participants. Bowls encourages community engagement and has clearly defined pathways to performance and excellence.

Up to and including the 1996 Games in Atlanta, bowls was part of the Paralympic programme. Stricter qualifying criteria and a reduction in the number of nations and players resulted in a change of status for the sport within the Paralympic family.

Scotland has progressed from finishing third at the IBD World Championships in Australia to second in 2011 in South Africa and 2015 in New Zealand.

The highest level for any international para bowler is the Commonwealth Games and Scotland won triples gold for physically disabled para sport bowlers at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester in 2002 and pairs silver for visually impaired bowlers at the Games in Glasgow in 2014.

Scottish Disability Sport is delighted to confirm that we have selected a team to represent Scotland at the CPISRA Word Games in Sant Cugat, Spain from the 6 – 12 August.

As a member of the Cerebral Palsy International Sports and Recreation Association (CPISRA) Scottish Disability Sport has a longstanding tradition of competing in the event having been most recently represented in Nottingham in 2015.

The event is seen as an ideal opportunity for aspiring world class athletes, with Cerebral Palsy, to compete in a high performance multi-sport event.  This type of experience and exposure is essential on the athlete journey, prior to selection for more high profile competitions, such as the Paralympic or Commonwealth Games.

Scotland will be represented in the sports of athletics, boccia, swimming and table tennis.

Gary Fraser, SDS Performance Manager, said: “We have been working closely with our partner SGB’s to select a team of athletes that are on an upward trajectory within their sport and can use this event as a spring board for future success.  The team size is smaller than previous years, which makes selections even more challenging, but we are more than confident of Scottish success at the Games.”
