Liverpool — Faugh A Ballagh! (Clear the Way!) Now in its seventh year, Central New York’s annual Irish Road Bowling Tournament is returning to Onondaga Lake Park in Liverpool at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, March 13. A popular pastime in Ireland for more than 300 years, this unique mix of bocce, bowling and golf, which entails rolling a small cannonball on a specific course, will take place along two miles of the park’s Shoreline Walking Trail. Teams of four from throughout the area will be competing for the title of 2016 Champion.
Registration opens on Feb. 1 and space is limited. The entry fee is $100 per four-person team. All participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt and each team will be issued a cannonball to use at the event. Prizes for first, second and third place as well as for best-decorated cannonball will be awarded. The afternoon will include an awards ceremony, with complimentary Irish-style lunch buffet for participants, at the nearby White Water Pub. All proceeds from the tournament will support educational and recreational programs at Onondaga Lake Park.
Onondaga Lake Park is located on Route 370/Onondaga Lake Parkway in Liverpool.
