So you think bowls is about as interesting as counting sheep? If so - you haven't tried Short Mat Bowls, which is friendly, social but VERY competitive!

Welcome to the master listing of national and International websites for Short Mat Bowls. It is a brilliant indoor sport and is spreading on a world wide basis. Some websites have been created by the national governing bodies, other pages have been created as interim information pages awaiting the creation of other websites. If you want to know more about our sport an explanation is given on the home page of BREAKAWAY LEISURE holiday site. A glossy Short Mat magazine is also produced and more details are available at Short Mat International's website

This International Index page contains details of current International contacts for each of the national governing bodies. Clicking on a nations flag will take you to their known details and their known club websites.
