The popularity of indoor bowls among young New Zealanders

A Scottish curling club in Glasgow is credited for creating the first indoor bowling green in 1845. Fast forward, and the sport continues to flourish, in fact a growing number of young New Zealanders appear to be taking to the bowling green. The broad appeal of indoors bowls in this country was illustrated at the recent Indoor Bowling Nationals in Ashburton. The oldest champion was Bernard Bennett who attended his first nationals in 1955 and was a member of this year's winning Masters Triples team aged 91. The youngest champion crowned was 24-year-old Matthew Farquhar. Matthew joins Jesse.
