William Rosbotham

William John Greer Rosbotham, born in 1909, was a lawn bowler who represented Northern Ireland at international level; the source does not record the year of his death. By trade he was a civil servant, and he lived at Loughall House in Loughgall, County Armagh. He was a member of the 1954 Northern Irish team and, partnering Percy Watson, won the gold medal in the pairs event at the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Vancouver. After the Games the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Belfast gave him a civic reception at the Belfast City Hall. In 1973 he became the Northern Ireland singles champion, a national title won nearly two decades after his Commonwealth success.
