Ray Hill

Ray Hill, born around 1930, is a former international lawn bowler from Wales who competed at the Commonwealth Games. He took up bowls in 1956, following in the footsteps of his father, Len Hill, and won the fours with him for the Port Talbot Municipal quartet at the 1962 Welsh National Bowls Championships. A heart attack affected his career, but he later joined the Aberavon Bowls Club, worked as a head teacher by profession and was again champion of Wales at the 1982 Welsh National Bowls Championships, winning the triples. He represented the Welsh team at the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland, competing in the singles and finishing seventh.
