Irish road bowlers take impressive medal haul home from Dutch moors

Ten individual medals, two gold on the road, five silver and three bronze gives Irish fans plenty to celebrate after the very successful European championships in Holland last weekend.

Ireland won six of the 12 available medals on the road, which was an exceptional achievement.

The Dutch won four and FKV Germany two. This points to a set of outstanding individuals performance. However, Ireland’s only team gold was the senior men’s team, which indicates that we may not have the strength in depth to maintain our dominance in the national game.
