James Cobley was an Australian lawn bowls international, born on 22 December 1877 and died on 17 April 1958. He competed in the 1950 British Empire Games, where he won the silver medal in the fours event together with his brother John Cobley, Len Knight and Charles Cordaiy. The year before, in 1949, the same four bowlers won the Australian National Bowls Championships rinks (fours) title while representing the Parkes Bowls Club in New South Wales. He was therefore in his seventies when he took Games silver, a reminder that lawn bowls allows long competitive careers. The article names no further titles, so nothing more is claimed here.
