SCOTLAND'S Joyce Lindores moved back into contention in the singles
event of the Atlantic Rim Women's Bowls Championship in Florida
yesterday when she beat Jersey's Sheila Syvret 25-20 in her fifth-round
clash.
Earlier, Lindores had unexpectedly lost by a similar scoreline to home
country player Anne Barber but her win over Syvret added to first
defeats for England's Norma Shaw and Phillis Nolan, from Ireland, left
Lindores just one point behind the four leaders.
Shaw leads on shots aggregate ahead of South Africa's Barbara Redshaw
with Nolan in third place and Rita Jones, from Wales, in fourth.
It was Jones who ended the winning run of Shaw recovering from 23-16
down to win
25-23.
Lindores moved ahead of Syvret with a maximum 4 on the second end and
ran out a 25-20 victor after a marathon 22 ends.
In the fours the Scottish rink of Sarah Gourlay, Janice Maxwell, Senga
McCrone, and Frances Whyte crushed the United States 28-11 but then had
to recover from 15-11 down with four ends to play to force a 17-17 share
of the spoils with Jersey.
''We are still in contention in both events but we can't really afford
to drop many more points,'' said Scottish manageress Eleanor Allen.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
