Pro Bowls Cup 2026
The TJ Astra Zahradní Město bowls club, in cooperation with the Pro Bowls e-shop, organized the first indoor tournament on a "short carpet" - the Pro Bowls Cup 2026 - on January 17, 2026, at the TJ Sokol Liboc 2026 gym.
For the first time ever in the Czech Republic, an official tournament was held in the attractive variant of indoor bowls, known as short mat bowls. Six pairs took part, which were drawn into two groups of three. The draw played a joke on us – in one group, only teams from TJ Astra Zahradní Město competed, while in the other, it was pairs from TJ Sokol Liboc.
The matches brought a number of exciting moments and interesting twists. Short mat bowls places great demands on the skill of the players, as well as their tactical and strategic thinking. Another challenge was to cope with the tricky carpet, which was not always perfectly level, adding another dimension and attractiveness to the game.
The results did not play a major role this time, as for most participants it was their first encounter with this discipline. The important thing, however, is that everyone enjoyed the tournament and the participants are already looking forward to the next "short mat" opportunity.
And those who missed out this time have a clear message: don't hesitate and come next time!
