Here’s a look back, in photos, at how the region’s half-dozen representatives got on.
Newcastleton para-swimmer Stephen Clegg accounted for the entirety of the region’s medal haul, going for gold at S13 50m freestyle on Tuesday last week, four days after securing a silver for S13 100m freestyle.
The 30-year-old’s brother James, 32, was competing with him in both those finals, finishing fifth and fourth respectively.
Jedburgh’s Lucy Hope was also representing the region at the city’s Tollcross International Swimming Centre, at women’s 4x100m and 4x200m freestyle relay, making her fourth Commonwealth Games appearance at the age of 29 and helping her team finish fourth in both.
Outwith the pool, Galashiels boxer Lara Brown, Duns weightlifter Maddie Rosher and Cardrona netball player Cerys Finn were also in action.
Brown, 19, lost her 57kg featherweight quarter-final last Wednesday against defending Commonwealth Games champion and three-time finalist Michaela Walsh, representing Northern Ireland, by unanimous decision.
Rosher, also 19, secured a fifth-placed finish last Tuesday in the women’s 69kg class.
Finn, 21, helped her Scottish Thistles team to an eighth-placed finish, losing 74-44 to New Zealand, 45-43 to Jamaica, 65-56 to Uganda and 54-47 to Malawi and beating Wales 56-47 and Trinidad and Tobago 77-27.
