Disabled bowlers team up for exhibition
The inaugural Jack High Insurance International Bowls Exhibition Match will see bowlers with a disability compete against their mainstream counterparts at Bellsburn Bowling Club, Linlithgow on Saturday. Among those in action will be former World Indoor Champion, Linlithgow’s Gary Smith, CEO of the governing body World Bowls, as well as fellow internationalists Grant and Calum Logan (Kirkliston) and Ewan Shearer (Bo’ness).
The showcase event is the brainchild of Scottish Disability Sport’s international bowler Gary Clelland, whose aim is to promote lawn bowls to people with a disability.
