Match Accessories and Maintenance

Several auxiliary tools are used to facilitate smooth play and green maintenance. Scorecards are essential for recording the progress of the game, with the Second or Marker responsible for ensuring all shots are documented accurately. On the bank, scoreboards provide a visual reference for players and spectators, showing the current score and the number of ends played. For green maintenance, "swishers" or long poles are used to clear dew and debris from the surface before play begins. Furthermore, many players utilise specialised bags or carry cases to transport their equipment safely. These accessories, while not all strictly mandated by law, contribute to the organised and professional environment required for competitive lawn bowls.
