Northern Ireland’s last gold medal in lawn bowls came way back in the 1998 Commonwealth Games. The Indian team defeated hosts England by a close 13-12 margin in the semifinal to assure India of at least a silver medal.

This comes after the women’s quartet of Lovely Choubey (lead), Pinki (second), Nayanmoni Saikia (third) and Rupa Rani Tirkey (skip) beat South Africa 17-10 in the women’s fours final to hand India a historic gold on Tuesday.
