The Envelope Works is currently building an on-going relationship with Irish Bowling Star Barry Browne.
Barry has been a leading international bowler for over 11 years now and has over 60 caps, between indoor and outdoor events, winning a number of Irish titles and 2 British titles.
Barry is just about to leave for the the Atlantic Rim Games, being held in South Africa, where he is competing in both the singles and pairs competitions against the very best bowlers in the world.
He added;
“I’ve received my draws for the competition and in the singles I’m in with Scotland, Guernsey, Spain, Cyprus, Wales, Brazil and Portugal and in the pairs it’s Jersey, Israel, Spain, Guernsey, Namibia, USA and Brazil.
The top 4 qualify for the 1/4 finals against the top 4 from the other section and then it’s straight knock out.
Looking at the draw I’m aiming for at least the quarter final of both, but we’ll see how it goes as there are some excellent bowlers out there.”
The tournament is being staged in The Wanderers Complex, Johannesburg from 3rd May to 16th May. Each team consists of 5 players and they contest 2 of the 4 disciplines, which are singles, pairs, triples and rinks.
Barry has been selected to represent Ireland in singles and pairs.
“I’m really pleased that Mark Farrimond and The Envelope Works have shown such an interest in myself and the sport I compete in. We are constantly trying to raise the profile of bowling and this type of relationship only helps to make the sport more visible throughout the UK and beyond.”
