    A game I would have loved to have tried. I watched a televised Crown Green bowls many years ago and thought it was great to watch, seemed fast and very competitive compared to our game up here which although competitive looks a bit slower paced, certainly what Ive seen on tv. I think the Crown bowls I watched could have been in Blackpool but it was a few years back
    It probably was as the Waterloo tournament final 32 were usually televised. The thing about Crown green is it’s you against your opponent, two bowls each and no interference from the rink. There is the odd pairs competition but in general singles games all the time. I wish I was half as good as a rink bowler than I was as a crown green bowler. Also green knowledge is a massive advantage in crown green as you can set a mark anywhere you want. Part of the reason I was so successful as a kid was I was never off the green and knew every inch and different “marks” of it like the back of my hand. At home I was virtually unbeatable in league games.
