Irish Road Bowling

Players agree on a finish point far down a road and take turns hurling a heavy metal ball ahead along the route.

Each player throws with an underhand swinging motion, aiming to send the ball as far as possible while keeping it on the road.

After every throw, the group walks to where the ball landed before the next throw is taken from that spot.

Players alternate turns, and whoever reaches the agreed finish point in the fewest throws wins that stretch.

A full match is often played over several such stretches, with the overall winner having the lowest total throw count.
