Danny O'Connor was a New Zealand international lawn bowls player who died on 27 April 2017. His best result on the world stage came at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, where he won a silver medal in the men's fours together with Rowan Brassey, Morgan Moffat and Jim Scott. At home he was one of the most successful players of his era in the New Zealand National Bowls Championships, winning ten titles in all: the fours in 1975, 1979, 1981, 1982, 1990, 1995, 2005 and 2014, the pairs in 1982 and the singles in 1983. A span of almost forty years between his first and last fours titles shows an unusually long career at the top of the domestic game.
