Jessie Lawson

Precision Sports

Jessie Lawson is a former international lawn bowler from Scotland who competed at the Commonwealth Games. She was a member of the Ardeer Bowls Club and won the Scottish national singles championship in 1981, beating June Dunshire in the final. The following year she was chosen for the Scottish team at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, Australia, where she bowled in the triples event with Janet Menzies and Jessie Adamson. Closer to home she was a regular winner in Ayrshire, taking the county singles for the fourth time in 1988 and reaching the final again in 1992. Her record shows the club-to-county-to-national route by which Scottish bowlers reach the Games.
