Frank Campbell

Frank Campbell is an Irish international lawn bowls player and a Commonwealth Games medallist. He was a member of the Carrickfergus Bowls Club and represented the Northern Irish team at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, Australia, where he competed in the fours event. The Northern Ireland fours, consisting of Campbell, Sammy Allen, Willie Watson and John McCloughlin, won the bronze medal. Earlier, in 1980, he had been the pairs runner-up at the Irish National Bowls Championships, which shows he was already among the leading Irish players before his Games appearance. Lawn bowls is a precision target sport in which bowls are rolled along a green towards a small white jack, and the fours is the format in which four players on each side bowl in turn as one team.
