Bowling - Margaret Johnston

In Bowls, the 2004 Texaco Award goes to Margaret Johnston, a woman who quite simply dominates the world of bowling. In a glittering career, Johnston has won gold in the Commonwealth Games and has won three World Pairs titles with Phyllis Nolan. But it is her remarkable record in singles competition that stands out. Last year she overcame formidable opposition at Leamington Spa in England to win the World Singles title for the third time. A previous Texaco Award recipient in 1988 and 1992 and current All-Ireland champion in singles, pairs and fours, Johnston underscores her outstanding record in world bowling by winning her third Texaco Award.
