Sherriff secures silver Games medals

Former Ettalong Bowling Club competitor Aron Sherriff has won two silver medals at the Commonwealth Games.

He won the medals in the Men's Triples and Fours events.

Sherriff and the Australian team lost the finals to Scotland in both events.

Aron Sherriff moved to join the Helensvale Club on the Gold Coast in December after years with Ettalong.

Fronting media on April 13, Sherriff said he and the Australian team were "shattered" to have missed the mark at the final hurdle.

"We're just absolutely shattered," Sherriff said.

"We fought hard.

"We got ourselves a good lead but we knew that they'd (Scotland) come back hard at us and they did.

Up until the last end, Australia had been leading 8-2 but Scotland pulled off some big plays to snatch the win out from under them.

Sherriff praised the efforts of his teammates and the Scottish team for their tenacity.

"A loss is a loss and to lose in the final game after working so hard to get here, to finish this way, was a little bit shattering, but Scotland is a phenomenal team and they pulled it out."
