Bowls is one of the oldest organised sports in the world, with a history that stretches back over two millennia. Played in various forms across continents and cultures, it has endured through dramatic social, political and technological change.
From ancient stone rolling to the finely tuned modern sport, bowls reflects not only athletic skill but also the communities, traditions, and values of the societies in which it developed.
