Bowls
There’s a guaranteed medal for Robert Barr and Mary Stevenson, with directors Sarah Jane Ewing and Jim Aitken, in the Mixed Para Pairs B2/B3 VI, after they defeated New Zealand in the semi-final. They play England at 08:30 on Tuesday, a team they’ve already defeated this Commonwealth Games, for the Glasgow 2026 gold medal.
New Zealand started strong but every time they tried to pull away the Scots tugged them back. The first set reached a dramatic finale with Scotland levelling the score at 3-3.
In the opening end of the second set Scotland took the lead for the first time following a wonderful shot from Barr. It was New Zealand’s turn to peg back Scotland as they tried to pull away, and the set went into the final end at 3-3. Stevenson set things up nicely for the finish and New Zealand couldn’t respond, giving Scotland a 5-3 win, a momentous victory, and the chance of a gold medal.
Robert Barr said: “Absolutely ecstatic. This is the big game to get a medal, it’s so important. If we lost that game, we’d be going into a bronze medal match, and that’s really tough, so, we’ll be a wee bit more relaxed tomorrow. We finished really strong with the first set and we started the second set quite well too.
“We know there’s not any easy games here, so we just have to concentrate and play to the best of our ability. Don’t take anybody lightly.”
Jason Banks missed out on a semi-final spot in the Men’s Singles after losing 2-0 to England’s Sam Tolchard. It was a tough opening set for Banks as Tolchard started the match in fine form, taking the opener 8-4. The Englishman played sensational bowls in the second set, surging into a solid lead, and despite a valiant fightback from Banks it was Tolchard who won the set 6-4.
Caroline Brown and Beth Riva finished their Glasgow 2026 Games on a high with a 2-0 win over the Cook Islands in the women’s pairs. The Scots got off to a blistering start, racing into a 9-0 lead and winning the opening set at a canter. The second set was far more comfortable than the score line suggests with the Scots taking the set 5-4 for a winning end to their Games.
Boxing
Nick Devlin stepped into the ring for a second time this Games in the Men’s 60kg round of 16 to face a tough opponent in Ebenezer Ankrah of Ghana. Devlin narrowly missed out on taking the first round through judges leaned in his favour in the second. It meant all to fight for in the third. With Ankrah being deducted some points, Nick grew in confidence and took the third round and a fantastic win that sees him into the quarter-finals on Wednesday. One more fight and he’s in the medal rounds.
Nick said: “I am over the moon, I am ecstatic. That was a tough man in there, he hit really hard so I had to be smart and bite down hard on the mouthguard in that third round. I am so happy with that win. Thank you to everyone for their support. That gave me the extra 10 per cent to get that win.”
Brooke Neely had a premature end to her competition in the Women’s 50kg, losing on a split decision to Nadeeka Ranasinghe of Sri Lanka. After winning the first round 4-1 and the second 5-0, she was penalised in third which ultimately cost her the fight.
An emotional Neely said: “I thought I worked to the last bell and I deserved to get my hand raised at the end. It’s just devastating. It was an amazing atmosphere. My family is here which makes it a little better.”
Sonny Kerr started his campaign this evening in the 70kg against Boniface Maina of Kenya. Narrowly losing the first round 2-3, he took the second round in a clean sweep and was delighted to see his hand raised after the third.
He said: “Great victory, a hard fought victory but I move onto the next one and focus on getting a medal. I probably need to try and not get drawn into the crowd next fight, which is hard to do but I need to use my skill more and make it easier for myself.”
Sonny will fight again at 20:30 on Wednesday in the last eight.

Weightlifting
Corey Duncan opened for Scotland this morning in the 71kg to a houseful of home support. It wasn’t to be for the talented 19 year old from Edinburgh who opted to add weight for his first snatch and go for 130kg but failed to make the lift on his three attempts.
He said: “It was just one of those days. I wasn’t able to put together the performance I would have liked but it’s been a great experience.
“I want to thank everyone who bought the tickets and came to watch me and the other athletes. That atmosphere is what we need in weightlifting. It is definitely a challenge going out in front of that. Some people can deal with it better than others and congratulations to anyone who can thrive in it and pull together a great performance.”
In the evening contest, Iain Wilson (79kg) finished in 8th position. He missed his opening lift of 120kg but got it on his second attempt and went onto lift 125kg in his third. He kicked off the clean & jerk contest starting at 150kg for a successful first lift, failed at 155kg but finished strong with a 156kg lift to the delight of the large home crowd.
He said: “I got a PB total so I couldn’t ask for any more. It was amazing out there, I’ve never felt anything like that. It made the weights feel weightless.”
