I think the bowling refers to road bowling with an iron ball about the sized of a cricket ball. It is usually plyed along country roads and is a contest to see how few throws over a given distance. My hubby has a mark on his leg which he received as a young child being hit by a bowl whilst out with his Dad following the game. |
