As a relatively new sport, short mat bowls is perhaps a lesser known type of bowling - but it’s popularity is growing!

Having played crown green and short mat bowls since I was 15, I have seen more and more people of all ages getting involved due to the challenging yet fun and social nature of the game.

Compared with many other sports, short mat bowls is fairly inexpensive to play and the only equipment that is absolutely necessary is of course a set of bowls.

These days you can find some good deals online, with a number of suppliers offering a range of short mat indoor bowls equipment at very reasonable prices.

For discounted bowls equipment, take a look at Newitts.com.

Once you have your own bowls, you probably want to think about joining a league or a team and then you’re good to go!
