Bowls Trader, a prominent online bowlswear supplier based in Shropshire, England, has joined forces with the SMPT to bring you the second World Cup of short mat bowls. This prestigious one day tournament takes place at the Bromsgrove IBC in England on the 19th August 2016, the day before the 2016-17 season gets underway with the UK Open.

Friday 21st August 2015 saw the start of the new SMPT season as Bromsgrove IBC played host to the inaugural Bond Bowls World Cup. Eight countries from the Henselite Order of Merit, plus a Rest of the World team, were divided into three groups of three. Each team was represented by its top four players, with each of them playing singles.
