What is Long bullets : a history of road bowling in Ireland about?

Road bowling is a sport very much associated with County Cork. Part of the social texture of Cork, it is undoubtedly an important element of local culture in many parts of the city and county. The game, however, does not belong to Cork alone; it is also popular in County Armagh, and in pockets of Counties Mayo, Tyrone, Louth, Waterford and Wexford. Road bowling is a sport widely thought of as peculiar to Ireland, but this has not always been the case. This book uncovers the rich history of road bowling in Ireland, tracing its roots back hundreds of years, and reveals a sport - originally known as "long bullets" - that was once widespread in Ireland, Scotland, the north of England and North America. 6.5x9.5", viii+152 pp., b&w photographs.
