The game is essentially an indoor version of the open-air sport but with a mat, smaller bowls and a stick, which players have to draw the bowls around, rather than fire up the middle.

The Selkirk Merchant Company donated a shield several years ago, which Ettrick Forest won for the second year in succession after this season’s round robin fixtures.
