OU Irish Road Bowling (IRB)

Opportunities Unlimited is pleased to announce the 2nd Annual Irish Road Bowling (IRB) event in September!   OU has hosted one of the best golf tournaments in our community, and the same level of support and planning is involved with this signature event.  Proceeds from IRB will support our “Annual Angels” program which directly supports our persons served.  We had a great turnout for our first IRB event in 2023 and look forward to this expanding with even more teams and sponsors this year. 

What is Irish Road Bowling?

Irish Road Bowling Teams consist of 4 players (21 and older) who “bowl” a small cannonball as far as they can down a designated road.  Scoring is on the honor system and it’s similar to keeping score for golf.  All throws are completed underhanded and teammates move down the road ahead of each bowler to watch where the team’s ball stops.  Team members take turns rolling the ball and the team with the fewest number of “rolls” at the end of the course wins!
