John Slight

Precision Sports

John Slight is a retired Scottish international lawn bowler who competed in the fours discipline in the late 1960s and 1970. Representing Scotland at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, he won a silver medal in the fours, bowling alongside Alex McIntosh, Norman Pryde and David Pearson. The same four had earlier won the fours title at the Scottish National Bowls Championships in 1968, which made them the leading Scottish rink of that period. The sources available describe a short competitive career built around that one rink and these two results, and they do not give his birth year, club or later life, so the entry records only what the published record supports.
