Planning ahead for Shropshire 2024 season
The 2023 bowls season is only at the halfway stage but officers of one Shropshire league are already making plans for next year.
And they will be outlined at tonight’s (TUES) executive meeting of the Molson Coors Mid Shropshire League at Wellington’s Bayley Club (7.30pm) – along with with the launch of another new competition.
“The league’s officers want to plant seeds for clubs to think about and discuss with their members before the current playing season ends, with a number of proposals,” said a Mid Shropshire spokesperson.
Following on from a successful first Monday Division Merit in May, a new Thursday Division Merit is poised to be played later this season, with a sponsorship deal to be announced tonight.
n There’s still time for Ludlow League bowlers to enter its next comp, Phil Baker explaining: “The league triples draw takes place tomorrow (WEDS) so if you haven’t entered and wish to do so get your names down quick.”
Age seems no problem for Alan Boulton and June Edwards as they continue to win bowls titles.
They took the gents and ladies honours respectively as the Market Drayton Senior Citizens’ League held the competitions at Joules BC in the town.
“It was a disappointing entry with only five gents and three ladies, but all enjoyed the day,” said league chief Wendy Icke. They played a round robin, the final of ladies being won by June Edwards 21-16 against Irene Bloore (the 2022 winner). The gents was won by Alan Boulton, with Rob Cope runner-up, 21-20.”
