Robert Taylor

Robert David Taylor was a lawn bowls international from Northern Ireland who competed at the British Empire Games, the event now known as the Commonwealth Games. He was a member of the Shaftesbury Bowls Club in Belfast and in 1933 represented Ireland at the International Games. He then played for the Northern Irish team at the 1934 British Empire Games in London, taking part in the pairs event with John Downing and finishing in sixth place. In January 1939 Taylor was voted Chairman of Shaftesbury Bowls Club, and he later became its honorary secretary, so his involvement with the sport extended from international play to running his home club.
