After a successful first season in 2011, the West Virginia Irish Road Bowling Association will expand singles league play to all skill levels in 2012.
Irish Road Bowling is an outdoor recreation played on West Virginia's country roads.
Scored like golf but more athletic, a 28 ounce iron and steel "bowl" is rolled over a one mile road. The fewest shots from start to finish determines the winning "score."
At the 2011 Singles League Championship Finals in November at Stonewall Resort, Travis McClintic from Lewisburg won the championship by only 15 yards on the last shot over Stephen Wallington, from Culloden, WV.
The 2012 schedule will be shorter than last years, but it is open to beginners, men and women and all ages.
Some weekend travel to matches at West Virginia State Parks and other convenient locations is involved.
Travel schedule will be determined by numbers of players.
This weekend their will be a qualifier for the Men's and Women's singles in the WVIRBA State
Championship Finals in Ireland, WV July 21, 22. That event will take place at Pipestem Resort State Park on Saturday and Sunday.
