West Virginia is hosting both the National Irish Road Bowling Finals and the North American Regional Road Bowling Finals this weekend.
Irish Road Bowling is a sport steeped in history and was brought to West Virginia in the 1990s by David Powell and his co-founders of West Virginia Irish Road Bowling.
“Irish road bowling is actually one of the oldest sports in the world,” Powell said. “It goes back to the 1600s in the country of Ireland. We got it started in West Virginia in 1995.”
The game resembles golf, in that, the player aims to get a ball as far as possible in as few throws as possible. However, the ball is made of iron and steel and the playing field is a narrow country road.
This national tournament will feature the best players in the nation. The featured match will be Sunday, August 6 in Glenville, West Virginia.
