So Football, Hurling, Camogie, Handball & Rounders are all official GAA sports. How come road bowls isn't even tho its only played in a few counties? As it's unique to these shores shouldn't the Cumann Luthcleas Gael be promoting it?

Yeah - I think every county should have 5 or 6 dozen people on various roads at anyone time on a Sunday - looking at you as if you have f**king 10 heads for daring to drive your car on a public road; or better still standing in a f**king trance so you have to move to the other side of the road to get past them!

QuoteWhy isnt netball a GAA sport. I don't think I've heard a more ridiculous question in my llife.
Ditto your reply numb-nuts!
IDEA.
Why not have an M50 based league, its easy to get the game started and finished while the traffic sits still in rush hours.
Since when did rounders become a Gaelic sport???????

Rounders is played in England with slightly different rules . It is thought that cricket evolved from rounders and that baseball evolved for rounders also
Let's all go, out and throw small canonballs that the brits left behind them a couple of centuries ago . i think not.
Now darts lets make it a gaa sport ,then we can have genuine internationals without tho thugery.

it is not unique to these shores, it is played in germany and has been for many decades.
Road bowls is a fantastic game altogether and it is great craic to go watch the boys out by Lurgyvallen there play for big money, they are incredible road bowlers but they are a wee bit too much into the gambling, there are thousands of pounds exchanged every Sunday.

No but I'd like to get from A to B with my family on a Sunday without these Gobshites all over the place, what f**king right have they to tell me when to stop and when I should go - pricks!

Because if they didn't you'd have a bullet lodged in the grill or side panel of your car, and that would hardly please you very much.
Just accept the fact that they are there, because they aren't going to go away.

Jesus man, where are you going in such a rush on a Sunday that you cant stop for one minute to let a bullet thrower take his shot. You plough on and when the 28oz of shot goes through your windscreen dont come crying to me. ;D

I notice you didn't answer the question, yet retort with personal abuse. Tut tut.
i think there should be a seperate forum for bowls ;) ;) ;)
Its played in Kerry. Mainly by settled travellers.
considering the handball lads are openly talking about splitting from the GAA as they feel they arent getting the funding or attention they deserve, why would the GAA take on another sport?
