Macra na Feirme National President, Alan Jagoe, said, “Congratulations to Ardcath Macra and all the teams that took part. Bowling is a fun and inclusive sport that provides a good social outlet to members. There is a variety of sports for members to take part in, varying in physical activity. You don’t have to be an athlete to take part in bowling but there are many advantages, for example, it helps in burning calories and works muscle groups not usually exercised.”
