Scotland gained some consolation for their exit from the main event at the rugby sevens by reaching the semi-finals of the bowl with a 57-0 rout of Sri Lanka at the City of Manchester Stadium.

Sean Lamont (Rotherham) and Kenny Sinclair (Glasgow Hawks) both scored two tries and others came from Scott Paterson, Marcus di Rollo, Simon Taylor, Ross Ford and Darren Burns.

The Scots, whose solitary victory in the main competition came at the expense of minnows Niue Island, will now play the Cook Islands in Sunday's bowl semi-final after they beat Malaysia 52-0.

Kenya, having failed to secure a quarter-final place in the main competition on points difference, tackled bowl opponents Trinidad and Tobago as they sought some consolation.

After an error-strewn start, Kenya established a 14-0 interval lead, then pulled effortlessly away to secure a 40-0 triumph.

The last quarter-final produced a South Seas 'derby' between Tonga and their neighbours Niue Island, but Tonga took charge early on and built up an effortless 26-0 interval lead, with Newcastle captain Epi Taione among their try-scorers.

Tonga ran out 59-5 winners, meaning that the victorious bowl quarter-finalists had registered a staggering 208 points, while conceding just five.
