Bowls: Three Scottish rinks qualify for the semi-finals Down Under

Scots sizzled in a cool and windy Adelaide yesterday and are assured of a further three podium finishes in the world outdoor championships.

They won through to the defining stages of the men's pairs and triples and the women's fours in top spot in their respective sections.

Paul Foster and Alex Marshall looked as though they would miss out. After nine wins and one draw, hey trailed Fiji in their concluding match but skip Marshall played wonder bowls with his last delivery over the final two ends to earn a 14-14 draw and a semi-final berth this afternoon where they meet the winner of the match between England and Wales. Canada won the opposite group and will meet either Ireland or Australia.
