2026 Commonwealth Games: Alex Marshall & Paul Foster feature in Team Scotland bowls team

With 13 medals between them, Alex ‘Tattie’ Marshall and Paul Foster headline the Scottish bowls team for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow this summer.

The vastly experienced duo will team up in the men’s pairs event, which they won at Glasgow 2014.

On his eighth Games selection, Marshall, who has seven medals in his collection, said: “It is always such an honour and privilege to be selected to represent Team Scotland at the Commonwealth Games.

“To have another opportunity to be a part of a home Games is also not lost on me, and I know that Paul and I will give it our very best to try and win a medal for the team.”

Marshall’s niece Beth Riva, who won 2025 World Championship mixed pairs with Jason Banks last year, will join Caroline Brown in the women’s pairs.

Banks will also make his Team Scotland debut in the singles event.

For the first time in Games history, all of the bowls and para bowls will be played indoors at the SEC Centre.

In the para team, Pauline Wilson, Garry Brown, Robert Barr and his director Sarah Jane Ewing are all aiming for repeat golds after topping the podium at Birmingham 2022.
