Murpholly Origins: What are 'the hurley and the bowlin''? (17) RE: Origins: What are 'the hurley and the bowlin''? 03 Nov 16

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.
