David "Morgan" Moffat (22 January 1943 – 13 March 1992) was a Scottish-born New Zealand lawn and indoor bowler, who won medals representing both Scotland and New Zealand at the Commonwealth Games.[1]

Bowls career

[edit]

Moffat was born in Scotland and was a member of the Grange Bowls Club.[2] He represented the Scottish team at the 1974 British Commonwealth Games in Christchurch, New Zealand,[3] where he competed in the fours event, with John McRae, Bill Scott and John Marshall[4] and won a bronze medal.[5]

He emigrated the following year to New Zealand. He won another bronze in both the triples and fours in the 1980 World Outdoor Bowls Championship, but this time for New Zealand. The success continued as he won bronze in the triples and silver in the fours during the 1984 World Outdoor Bowls Championship. Moffat also secured a fours silver in Edmonton during the 1978 Commonwealth Games and a fours silver in the 1982 Commonwealth Games.[6][7]

A gold medal finally came in 1988 when he won the triples at the 1988 World Outdoor Bowls Championship in Auckland.[8]

He won the 1978 fours title at the New Zealand National Bowls Championships when bowling for the Linwood Bowls Club.[9]

Moffat died on 13 March 1992.[10]

Awards

In 2013, Moffat was an inaugural inductee into the Bowls New Zealand Hall of Fame.[11]
