Jack Griffiths

John Arthur Griffiths was a Welsh lawn bowler who competed at the Commonwealth Games. He bowled for the Port Talbot Municipal club and won the rinks (fours) title at the Welsh National Bowls Championships in 1937, 1939 and 1941, and he made his first international appearance for Wales in 1933. He later served as President of the Welsh Bowls Association in 1955. Teaming up with Len Hill in the pairs, he reached two national finals in 1943 and 1950 before winning the pairs title in 1957. That year he was also part of the fours team that won the 1957 national championships, which led to his selection for the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Cardiff, where he helped Wales finish seventh in the fours.
