Pictured above receiving his cap for his many international appearances is Paul Smith of Leinster Bowling club. Making the presentation are fellow internationals Nicky Smith, Robert Maher, Richard Leonard, Eamonn Carruth, and Stephen Millane.

Paul is a man who on his worst day is as tough as they come to beat, if he has a bowl in hand you can guarantee a head is about to change. Incredible knowledge of the game that no doubt sons Nicky and Thomas have picked up over the years.

Congratulations to the one and only Paul Smyth, the beating heart of Leinster Bowling Club, on receiving his Cap, number 312, for his magnificent tally of 46 International Caps for Ireland.
