Melanie Inness and Robert Barr, with their directors Sarah Jane Ewing and George Miller, won gold in the Para Mixed Pairs B2/B3 to complete a Team Scotland sweep of the Para Lawn Bowls events.
Following victory for Kevin Wallace and Garry Brown in the Men’s B6-B8 Pairs on Thursday and Rosemary Lenton and Pauline Wilson taking the women’s equivalent on Friday, Barr, Inness, Miller and Ewing made it three from three, running out comfortable winners 16-9. At 75, George Miller becomes the oldest gold medallist in Commonwealth Games history.
It was a repeat of the bronze medal match of Gold Coast, where Scotland lost to Wales, but this time Scotland took the medals, and they were gold. It was a tight contest in the early stages but from the eighth end things started to move in Scotland’s favour, before they pulled away to secure a fine victory after the 14th end.
Iain McLean is through to the men’s singles semi-finals after an exceptional 21-4 quarter final victory over Ryan Bester of Canada. McLean was on fine form from the outset and surged into an uncatchable lead, with the match ending after the 14th end. McLean faces defending Commonwealth Games gold medallist Aaron Wilson of Australia in the semi-final. Meanwhile, the men’s fours were knocked out at the quarter final stage by Northern Ireland in a close 18-15 defeat.
The second day of Diving saw a handful of Scots in the pool across the afternoon and evening. James Heatly and Ross Beattie gave it their all in the Men’s Synchronised 3m Springboard final, unfortunately coming up just short of the podium in fourth place.
Later in the day Grace Reid and Clara Kerr took on the Women’s 1m Springboard Final after qualifying in the morning session. Both improved significantly on their qualifying scores, with Grace finishing in fourth place with 268.15 points, and Clara in eighth with 239.95 points.
Over in Arena Birmingham, Louise Christie was back in action in the Rhythmic Gymnastics All-Around Final. Performing again with all four Apparatus, Louise improved on her score of 103.9 points from yesterday’s qualification, ending the day in 10th place with 104.6 points. She’ll be performing in tomorrow’s Clubs and Ribbon Finals – the first time a Scottish Rhythmic gymnast has performed in an Apparatus Final since 1994!
Lynne Beattie and Mel Coutts took to the sand at Smithfield to play their Beach Volleyball Quarter-Final against Australia. The match against the Olympic silver medallists was always going to be tough, but the Scottish pair fought hard and initially took a four point lead in the first set. Despite playing their hearts out, the Australians proved their position as one of the best teams in the world and took a 2-0 (21-22, 21-11) win, ending Scotland’s Beach Volleyball competition.
In the men’s squash doubles Greg Lobban and Rory Stewart defeated Tayyab Aslam and Nasir Iqbal of Pakistan 2-1 to reach the quarter finals. Douglas Kempsell and Alan Clyne were defeated 2-1 in a tense match by Velavan Senthilkumar and Abhay Singh of India.
Lisa Aitken and Georgia Adderley lost their quarter final women’s doubles match 2-0 to England. Then in the mixed double quarter final, Greg Lobban, alongside Lisa Aitken, came up against his wife Donna Lobban, with Cameron Pilley, of Australia. It was a very competitive match with Scotland winning the first game, and Australia the second, but it was the Aussies who ran out 2-1 winners. The final match of the day saw Georgia Adderley and Rory Stewart face Joelle King and Paul Coll of New Zealand, but it was New Zealand who came out on top in a 2-0 win.
The NEC played host to Netball, Badminton and Table Tennis action on Day Eight. The Netball team took part in a Classification Match following their Pool stage, and finished in a respectable 9th place after defeating Northern Ireland by 43 goals to 33. Badminton Round of 16 matches were also contested throughout the day, with Kirsty Gilmour; Julie MacPherson and Adam Hall progressing to the Women’s Singles and Mixed Doubles Quarter Finals on Saturday after overcoming opponents from the Isle of Man and Uganda. Despite valiant efforts, Callum Smith, Matt Grimley, Eleanor O’Donnell, Chris Grimley, Ciara Torrance and Alex Dunn were unable to join their teammates, as they were beaten by players from England, Singapore, Malaysia and Canada.
There was further disappointment in Table Tennis, as Colin Dalgleish, Gavin Rumgay, Lucy Elliott and Rebecca Plaistow were knocked out of the Men’s Singles and Women’s Doubles respectively by participants from Nigeria and India.

After finishing just outside the medals at Glasgow 2014 and Gold Coast 2018, there was finally medal joy for both para-powerlifter Micky Yule and wheelchair racer Samantha Kinghorn, with emotional scenes on day seven of the Birmingham 2022 Games.
Kinghorn secured Team Scotland’s first medal of the day with a brilliant bronze in the Women’s T53/54 1500m, breaking away with Australian duo Madison de Rozario and Angela Ballard and powering home to a podium place, just pipped on the line by Ballard for silver. Fellow Scot Melanie Woods put in a fantastic performance for fourth. There was also a fifth place finish for Nick Percy in the Men’s Discus final.
Across the city Micky Yule, one of Team Scotland’s flagbearers at the Opening Ceremony eight days ago, was making his own piece of history. Injured by an improvised explosive device whilst serving in Afghanistan in 2010, an injury that required more than 40 operations and left him a double amputee, Micky lifted 192kg in the Para-Powerlifting Heavyweight final to take his first Commonwealth Games medal after finishing fourth at the past two Games.
Melanie Innes and Robert Barr, with their directors George Miller and Sarah-Jane Ewing, are in the mixed para pairs B2/B3 gold medal match after a terrific semi-final success against England. The duo won 21-6 in a fantastic performance that saw them lead from the third end. The Scots will play in tomorrow’s final at noon against Wales and will add a third para medal to this Games’ collection.
Iain McLean beat Ross Davis of Jersey 21-13 in the men’s singles bowls to get his day off to a great start, and then followed up with an important 21-4 victory over Shannon McIlroy of New Zealand. The wins will see McLean feature in the men’s singles quarter finals. Scotland’s men’s fours also had a successful day as they defeated South Africa 15-10 and New Zealand 18-10, also claiming a quarter finals spot.
Day seven saw the start of the Rhythmic Gymnastics competition in Arena Birmingham, and Louise Christie was in action representing Team Scotland in the Individual Qualification. Some incredible technical performances from the first Scottish gymnast to represent Team GB in six years saw her qualify for the All-Around competition tomorrow, and for the Clubs and Ribbon apparatus finals on Saturday.
The streets of Wolverhampton were lined the whole way for the Road Cycling Time Trial as the riders were treated to an incredible atmosphere. Last off for Team Scotland was John Archibald, and fresh from an excellent track meet, he was looking to produce another high-quality ride, and that is exactly what he did, finishing in 6th behind a quintet of world class riders. Mark Stewart and Finn Crockett were also in action in the men’s event and produced similarly good rides to take 14th and 22nd respectively, the latter on his Commonwealth Games debut, having only been called up for this event two days ago to replace the injured Kyle Gordon.
The women’s race saw double track medallist Neah Evans joined by road pro Anna Shackley. Shackley, from Milngavie, produced a focused effort on a lumpy course; fifth through the first checkpoint she looked on course for a great ride, but faded slightly in the second half of the race, to eventually round out 10th. Evans finished in a solid 17th place.
Bantamweight Matty McHale and Welterweight Tyler Jolly increased the number of guaranteed Boxing medals by defeating their quarter final opponents from Malaysia and Papua New Guinea with a third round stoppage and unanimous decision respectively. Even though he fought with tremendous heart, Flyweight Lennon Mulligan could not join them in the semi finals, as he suffered a unanimous decision loss to an experienced fighter from India.
Under the sun in Smithfield, Scotland’s Beach Volleyball women played their final pool match against Solomon Islands. Having lost their previous two matches against England and Vanuatu, the women had to win this match in order to progress into the competition’s quarter-finals. The first set was won easily with Beattie and Coutts taking it to 21-6 in just 13 minutes, however the second set was 22 minute a point-for-point battle. With the support from Team Scotland’s Women’s Hockey team, Lynne and Mel finally took a two point lead and brought the second set to a close with 21-16. They’ll play in a quarter final tomorrow against Australia at 14:30.
This evening saw the first of the Diving finals in Sandwell Aquatics Centre and first up were the men on the 1m Springboard, Scotland represented by James Heatly, Danny Mabbott and Ross Beattie. All three finished in the top ten with James in fourth, Danny ninth and Ross tenth. Next in action was Gemma McArthur in the 10m Platform. Gemma improved on her Gold Coast finish in the same event, ending the day in ninth place.
Scotland had a winning evening in the squash mixed doubles with Lisa Aitken and Greg Lobban enjoying a 2-0 victory Marlene West and Cameron Stafford of the Cayman Islands; and Georgia Adderlay and Rory Stewart also winning 2-0 against Hollie Naughton and Nick Sachvie of Canada. In the women’s doubles Georgia Adderlay and Lisa Aitken enjoyed a 2-0 win over New Zealand’s Kaitlin Watts and Abbie Palmer.
Kirsty Gilmour, Callum Smith, Matt Grimley, Eleanor O’Donnell, Adam Hall, Julie MacPherson and Chris Grimley were all in Badminton action on Day Seven, and made it through to their respective Round of 16 matches over the coming days.
Unfortunately the Mixed Doubles and Men’s Doubles Table Tennis pairings of both Rebecca Plaistow and Gavin Rumgay with Colin Dalgleish could not get past opponents from Australia and England to make their own Last 16 match ups. In their fifth and final Pool Match, the Netball team were defeated 64-46 by South Africa.

A scintillating six medals, including four gold, had Team Scotland racing up the medal table on day six at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Scotland now sit fifth ahead of South Africa with a total of 32 medals: seven gold, eight silver and 17 bronze.
Eilish McColgan struck gold in the 10,000m, 36 years after her mum Liz took the first of two victories over the same distance. As the race entered its closing stages Eilish found herself locked in a battle with Kenya’s Irine Cheptai and, roared on by the crowd, pulled clear in the home straight. She crossed the line in a new Games record of 30:48.60 and with a look of utter disbelief at the magnitude of her achievement.
In the same race, Sarah Inglis made her debut at a Commonwealth Games and finished ninth.
The final night of swimming action saw Duncan Scott, already Team Scotland’s most decorated athlete of all-time, race to a magnificent gold in the Men’s 200m Individual Medley ahead of English rival Tom Dean. Touching first in a new Games record, Scott took his fifth medal of these Games and his 12th overall to cement his place in history. There was more to come however as he teamed up with Craig McNally, Ross Murdoch and 18 year old Evan Jones for bronze in the Men’s 4 x 100m Medley Relay.
In the final day of the Judo competition Sarah Adlington made history in the Women’s +78kg category as the first ever Scottish judo player to win two Commonwealth Games gold medals, defeating Dianah Kana of Kenya in the final to take Birmingham 2022 gold in a repeat her first from Glasgow 2014.
Rachel Tytler made light work of a bronze medal match in the -78kg weight category. Tytler threw her opponent, Coralie Godbout from Canada, to win by an ippon in only 30 seconds to earn the bronze medal.
Andrew McWatt did well to earn a place in the bronze medal match following his late call up to the team to replace Chris Sherrington, but fell just short of a medal.
Rosemary Lenton and Pauline Wilson put in a tremendous performance to win gold in the Women’s Para Pairs B6-B8, dominating to take victory after a close start. It was a 17-5 victory over Australia’s Cheryl Lindfield and Serena Bonnell for the Scots and, at 72, Lenton becomes the oldest gold medallist for Team Scotland in the history of the Commonwealth Games.
Melanie Innes and Robert Barr remain undefeated in the Para Mixed Pairs B2/B3, winning 15-8 against Wales and will play in the semi-finals against England as the competition reaches its denouement.
Scotland’s women’s pairs lost 18-12 to Northern Ireland before losing 19-7 to England, which puts them out of the tournament. Iain McLean lost a close match to India’s Mridul Borgohain 21-19 in the men’s singles then the women’s triples lost 16-14 to Wales. Meanwhile, Scotland men’s fours lost 13-8 to Jersey.
Three emphatic Boxing quarter final wins out of three for Light Welterweight Reese Lynch, Middleweight Sam Hickey, and Light Heavyweight Sean Lazzerini means all three have guaranteed medals and will compete for a place in the finals on Saturday.
Both Gavin Rumgay and Colin Dalgleish were in fine form too, as they progressed after winning 4-0 in all their Men’s Singles matches, while Rebecca Plaistow and Lucy Elliott recorded decent wins on their Commonwealth Games debuts, just missing out on topping their respective groups, and will have further chances in the doubles.
There were also wins for Badminton’s Callum Smith; Ciara Torrance and Julie MacPherson; and Chris Grimley and Eleanor O’Donnell versus the Falklands and Maldives. The Netball team claimed its first win of these Games too when they defeated Barbados 72-28.
Despite acquitting themselves incredibly well, both Charlie Aldridge and Isla Short came agonisingly close to Commonwealth Games medals as the XC Mountain Bike races took place at Cannock Chase. Short pressed the pace for long periods to true and shake her rivals, but in the end they proved too strong, moving clear as the diminutive figure from Peebles eventually finished fourth as World Champion Evie Richards of England went clear on lap two of seven to take an impressive victory.
