Belfast bowling clubs are in line for a City Hall grant aimed at helping them develop future world champions.
The city is to get a pilot programme for a 'Disability Bowls Hub' after it emerged Northern Ireland has the poorest provision for disability in the sport across the UK.
At a recent Belfast Council committee meeting, elected members agreed the support of a pilot project up to a maximum of £6,000 for a Disability Bowls Hub in Belfast, to highlight the short and long-term aims of Irish Bowls Federation in Para and Visually Impaired (VI) development.
