Manilva Short Mat Bowling Club

Manilva Short Mat Bowling Club (MSMBC) was inaugurated in late 2005 and is open to anyone of any nationality interested in this friendly, social and competitive sport.

Short mat bowls is great fun. It is an all-year sport unaffected by weather conditions and it does not require a permanent location as the rink mats can be rolled up and stowed away. This makes it particularly appropriate for small communities as it can be played in village halls, schools, sports and social clubs, hotels etc. where space is restricted and is also required for other purposes: it is even played on North Sea oil rigs where space is really at a premium.

The game is played in broadly the same way, and provides the same enjoyment and has the same attractions as lawn bowls and, indeed, many players participate in both games. The bowls themselves, and the smooth soled heel less footwear are the same as those used outdoors. Read more...
