Ask an Umpire
Do you have a bowls situation which you would like clarified? Please contact our Umpire Co-ordinator, John Hulme or Don Lyne with your request and we will publish it in Hawk Talk.
This week's scenario:
The jack on your rink has been hit by a bowl and pushed sideways towards the edge of the rink. There are some bowls in the area where it stops. A short time later a bowl from the next rink is coming down across the edge of the rink towards your head . What should be done by the Third or Skip?
