In reply to neilh:
I play quite a lot but don't claim to be much good. What I will say is that ends like that are not all that rare, even if not exactly commonplace.
It's a brilliant game and a crying shame that younger people have a sort of prejudice against it which doesn't seem to exist in their attitudes towards , say, darts or snooker.
Like rugby, there are different variants of the game with the equivalent of rugby league being crown green bowling, played on a slightly convex green and more practised in the north.
