The 1980 Men's World Outdoor Bowls Championship [ 1] was held at the City of Frankston Bowling Club in Frankston , Melbourne , Australia , from 17 January to 2 February 1980.[ 2]
The Australian government would not allow the South African team to compete because of the South African policy of apartheid.[ 3]
David Bryant won his second singles title following his triumph in the 1966 competition .
Australia won the pairs, England won the triples and Hong Kong won the fours.[ 4]
The Leonard Trophy went to England who beat Australia into first place by virtue of having a higher shot percentage.[ 5] [ 6]
