Clinton is champion
Scottish Masters win
There was mixed fortunes for East Kilbride Indoor Bowling Club members at the Scottish Masters recently as Kieran Clinton won the singles title and Greg McLeish lost out to his step brother in the Youth final.
On November 9, Clinton beat Colin Walker in the Scottish Masters Final at Perth ,which was televised by the BBC.
Colin lost the first set 9-5, but he came storming back to win the second set 10-5, taking the game to a tie-break which Colin won 2-0.
The following day, McLeish came agonisingly close to making it an EK double.
However, step brother David Eaton, from Blantyre, had other ideas and denied him victory in the televised final.
Their efforts come off the back of a busy few weeks for the club.
