While Leon Reid celebrated Northern Ireland's first Commonwealth Games athletics medal since 1990, his compatriots had less to shout about.
Bowls player Gary Kelly lost his men's singles quarter-final 21-9 to Australia's Aaron Wilson.
The Ballymena man finished with four wins from six matches on the Gold Coast and he is remaining upbeat.
"It was always going to be a tough game with the home crowd behind Aaron creating a great atmosphere," said Kelly.
"I started off slowly and he was consistent. I settled into the game and felt it was in the balance but a few unfortunate results went against me.
"The group stages went well for me and it's disappointing to miss out on a medal but I played six games, won four and I'll take the positives.
"It has been an absolutely fantastic experience. The enthusiasm from the crowds is unbelievable. The para-athletes have been brilliant and they all deserve a medal to be honest."
The men's fours team also lost out at the quarter-final stage, going down 13-9 to Australia.
Those results leave Northern Ireland without a Commonwealth Games bowls medal for the first time since 1978.
