First you need to know the rules. Fortunately, they’re easy to learn.
You can play singles, pairs or in teams
Bowls is played on grass (the green). A game starts by throwing the jack (a small white ball) down the green. Each team has different colour bowls to roll towards the jack. “The person who gets nearest to the jack gets a point and wins what’s called the ‘end’,”
After each end, play is reversed and the teams bowl towards the other side of the green. Players can try to knock their opponents’ bowls away from the jack or position a bowl to block opposition shots. You can play singles, pairs or in teams. In singles, scoring is a bit different – the first player to reach 21 points is the winner.
