249th Knighthood Bowls competition

epa11558409 Knights measure a shot during the knighthood competition at the Old Bowling Green in Southampton, Britain, 21 August 2024. Formed circa 1299 the Southampton Old Bowling Green is considered to be the oldest Bowling Green in the world. During a game, balls known as ''woods'' are rolled by players aiming to get the closest to the small white ''jack'' which sits on a penny. The player who gets closest to the jack scores a point. The club hosts the oldest continuously played bowls competition in the world, known as The Knighthood. Played over multiple days, the first player to score 7 points is declared the winner and receives a solid silver medal and knighted by the club. The knights go on to officiate over the game wearing top hat and tails measuring the distance between wood and jack with a yard stick. EPA/NEIL HALL ATTENTION: This Image is part of a PHOTO SET
