Marshall returns to Aussie BPL with Brisbane Pirates

Scotland’s Alex Marshall will return to Australia for its 14th staging of the Bowls Premier League in 2022.

The five-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist will re-join the Brisbane Pirates and team up with New Zealand legend Jo Edwards and Pine Rivers’ seven-time club champion, Chris Rosanes.

Reigning back-to-back champions, the Tweed Heads Ospreys, will retain the trio of Aaron Teys, Corey Wedlock and Chloe Stewart as they look for an incredible third successive victory in the event.

Ireland’s Gary Kelly will once again represent the Melbourne Pulse alongside Barrie Lester and Ellen Ryan, and will be coached by former Irish international Jeremy Henry.
