The Maltese Olympic Committee has announced its lawn bowls team for the forthcoming Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

Malta will be competing in four disciplines at the Games – the men’s triples, men’s four’s, women’s pairs and women’s fours.  

Joining the contingent traveling to Birmingham will be the 2018 Commonwealth Games medalist family – Connie, Rebecca, and Rose Rixon, who will once again be playing in the women’s fours, who will be joined by newcomer Irene Attard.

The quartet promise to be a strong team on the greens at Victoria Park, Royal Leamington Spa and will be seeking a return to the podium.

Rixon siblings Connie and Rebecca will also compete in the women’s pairs. 

The men’s fours team will be headed by the most experienced player Shaun Parnis. This will be Parnis’ fourth Games appearance.

He will be joined by Atlantic Championships bronze medalist Mark Malogorski, and newcomers Troy Lorimer and Peter Ellul.

“The selection for the lawn bowls contingent brings together a team that has provided excellent results for Malta in the past. Their combined experience will definitely be an asset to Malta’s performance in Birmingham,” remarked Julian Pace Bonello, president, Maltese Olympic Committee.
