The first Team NI athletes have been selected ahead of the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Adam McKeown, Chloe Wilson, Shauna O’Neill and Gary Kelly (Photo L-R) will represent Team NI in Lawn Bowls from 24 July – 2 August.

All four have previous Commonwealth Games experience with Kelly, who will participate in the Men’s Singles and Pairs, competing in his fourth Games and looking to make it a perfect set of medals after winning silver and bronze in 2022 and 2010.

McKeown will partner Gary Kelly in the Men’s Pairs and already has a Commonwealth Games Gold to his name with victory as part of the Men’s Fours in Birmingham in 2022.

Joining them will be Shauna O’Neill in the Women’s Singles at her second games and Chloe Wilson will form a Women’s Pairs with O’Neill, also competing at her second Commonwealth Games.

Hear from all four below about what it means to compete in Glasgow and represent Team NI in what they describe as the biggest accolade in their sport.
