In the much hyped match between qualifiers from Scotland and Israel, the team from North of the Border - Mark Renwick and Kieran Ward from the East Kilbride club near Glasgow - emerged as the winners.
They rattled through the opening set against retirees Ital Rigbi and Amnon Amar from the Ramat Gan club and although the Israeli duo settled much better in the second set and produced some big bowls, the Scots stood firm to seal their second round berth 18-2, 11-2, and they continue their @AmbassadorCruiseLine Open Pairs Championship campaign against the all English ranked partnership of Jamie Walker and Mark Dawes (Sunday 12th January at 2pm.)
