A friend recently forwarded a link to an Irish Times article from April 2006 on my book Long Bullets (Cork, 2005), which is a social history of the unusual sport of Irish road bowling. I remember the Irish Times piece from the time (naturally), but wasn’t aware it was online.

Anyway, here it is: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/bowling-on-the-byways-1.1035977
