Irish Road Bowling | La Crosse Diocesan Grounds

Road Bowling is an Irish sport in which competitors attempt to take the fewest throws to propel a metal ball along a pre-determined course of country roads. The sport originated in Ireland and is mainly played in Counties Armagh and Cork. The “bowl” or “bullet” is an iron and steel cannonball – much like a small shot put. We use 2 person teams who alternate throwing the bullet. The team with the fewest shots to the finish line wins. Course length is about 1 mile. Registration is $30 per team.
