Sooky Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Looks like we stand a decent chance of gold in the athletics tonight in the women's 100m T12 Final. Only 4 competitors and the Scottish girl has a PB a second quicker than all of the other 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooky Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Men's Pairs Final in the Bowls starts at 12.45 with Alex Marshall and Paul Foster going for Gold. Now, I'm no expert, but being 10-0 up after 5 ends doesn't seem all that bad to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 How many ends do they play in the bowls? Or is it first to a certain number of points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Brilliant second half performance from Scotland men in the hockey, coming from 3-1 down to win 4-3 against Wales. Same fixture in the Women's competition this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooky Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 How many ends do they play in the bowls? Or is it first to a certain number of points? They played 18 in the semi yesterday, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Now, I'm no expert, but being 10-0 up after 5 ends doesn't seem all that bad to me. It's a good start but it could change quickly if Malaysia were to win an end and play to their jack length. Both the Scots like to play to a shorter jack, the Malaysians to a 3/4 to full length. Think it's 17 ends for the pairs, and it's now 12-0 after 6 ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 That wide shot of the bowls with the Kelvingrove Art Gallery in the background is stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do different teams sometimes use the same colour of bowls? Does that not just make it a bit confusing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Foster is playing his best game of the tourney so far, and Marshall is also playing very well. No shot at that end, so it's 14-0 after 8 ends. Wee blonde who is operating the scoreboard looks quite tidy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit that I was surprised that teams didn't have their own coloured bowls, as happens in the indoor tourneys on TV. Instead the players are just using their own favoured bowls with red or blue stickers on them. Must be confusing as feck when you are at Kelvingrove.

I noticed that yesterday both England and Scotland were using blue and today Scotland seem to be using blue and Malaysia seem to be using a mix of yellow and blue!! Thought it might have been like curling when one team must use red and the other yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Scotland home and hosed at 18-0 up after 11 ends. Harsh on Malaysia who have played well throughout the tourney but both Scots have been on top form today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
