Australia’s Kelsey Cottrell and Dawn Hayman made a dazzling debut at the Commonwealth Games, clinching gold in the women’s pairs lawn bowls just hours after the event’s official kickoff in Glasgow.

Despite the early morning and indoor carpet greens, the Zambian team showed heart and sportsmanship, while the Aussies delivered a commanding win — especially in the second set — against newcomers to carpet bowling. Cottrell’s calm advice on managing nerves added poise to their victory, setting a high-octane tone for the 2026 Games.
