DIffcult to do unless you have a large living room, 2 sofas and impartial servants for each potato.
highly competitive though. . . . like polo and F1, only rich kids really get into it.

Tireur or Pointeur? I tend to play with a French partner and he always insists on being Tireur. Frustrating as I reckon I can do both
No idea, I just like chucking lumps of metal!Tireur or Pointeur? I tend to play with a French partner and he always insists on being Tireur. Frustrating as I reckon I can do both

My mate took up bowls a few years ago when his knees couldn't cope with American Football any more. He loves it, and has even got his young lad playing - whos only about 10!
Talk about one extreme to the other!

In the U.K., most of the top bowlers are now relatively young. Kids adapt and have better muscle memory than us old ‘uns.

I used to run a lot of half marathons, but my back put paid to that. Also played touch rugby but drifted away from the rugby club when my son gave up playing.
So football, cricket and swimming these days.
Football - I've always loved playing, but perhaps less nowadays than ever before in truth.
Cricket - I had forgotten how much I loved playing cricket but this summer's cricket has been great fun. Absolutely loving it, just wish the weather was better.
Swimming - I had to teach myself to like this sport as I used to hate it. It took me two weeks to even manage to swim a sensible number of lengths but now I try to get to the pool every 3 days where I swim 40 lengths (1km) every time I get in.

Play football on a social basis (local meet up with whoever wants a game twice a week), and have played futsal here for about the last 15 years. Have just started up a fourth team, so I'm not usually moving that well on a Monday morning after 4 games on a Sunday night. Play with a huge variety of people from mid 20's to 60 and in a mixed team as well. Going OK at nearly 50, but still top scorer in the top division!
