To the outsider bowls might seem to be a sport for the middle-aged and the unathletic, and certainly some of the contestants in the Old Barlovians Bowls
Championship are more renowned for their prowess in sinking a pint than for their fitness. But winning is still important and this year there's not just a trophy at stake, there's also a marriage.
With RICHARD DURDEN. RONALD HERDMAN. GORDON REID and BRIAN SMITH

Much has been made in the past of the value of sport in children's education and development. But do traditionally organised sports still hold an appeal for today's youngsters? Are there dangers in training to win at all costs and in the early introduction to intensive training for competition? Wendy Lloyd reports on the battle currently being fought on and off the school playing fields and Libby Purves invites you to join a discussion on the place of sport in our children's playing life.
