Description

On the quiet backroads of rural Armagh, fierce competition rages in the sport of ‘road bowls’ – where competitors hurl steel cannonballs down country lanes, trying to complete the course in the least number of shots.

But ‘throwing bullets’ is not merely for personal pride and family honour, there are local and national championships to aim for, and when two throwers go head to head there can be thousands of pounds in cash at stake as spectators bet on the outcome. Narrated by Francis Quinn.

Part of BBC One’s True North strand.
