John Cobley

Precision Sports

John Cobley, who lived from 1872 to 1958, was an Australian lawn bowls international who competed in the 1950 British Empire Games, where he won the silver medal in the fours event with his brother James Cobley, Len Knight and Charles Cordaiy. He was the 1949 Australian National Bowls Championships rinks (fours) winner, bowling with the same trio and for the Parkes Bowls Club in New South Wales. The source consulted records no other results or personal details, so this entry rests on his 1950 silver medal, his 1949 national title and his dates.
