Pubs opening

Sounds dodgy, he knew of road bowling but didn’t have a clue how it works, it’s the equivalent of saying you don’t understand a swimming race.

Rings is common outside Cork surely? We’ve had a board in the family home for as long as I can remember. When the family came out to Australia Xmas one year, a board was even brought out for the annual family competition/royal rumble.

And before it’s said, there’s no carkness anywhere darkening the gene pool.

A stone?

There’s a mythical Cork man up in Dublin who never shuts up about it but isn’t aware that it’s just about throwing a ball down a road in as few throws as possible, you couldn’t make it up, except somebody did.
