Is 'bends' a term used in bowling, mac44? Village green. or bat & ball?
Mac has the wordplay ,shapes is bends minus B.

Definition is 'Some Bowling'- Ends

End: Means playing of the Jack and all bowls of both opponents in the same direction on a Rink. Bowling to the Jack is called "one end." The number of Ends played is decided by Club Rules. A typical game has 14 ends in social games, 18 in tournaments.

Thank you both.
Mac did the hard work ;-)
