The Bylet sensation was unbeatable on the No.1 green at Newport on Sunday, getting her hands on the trophy again by beating Sally King (Wrockwardine Wood) 21-13 in the final.

“I’m absolutely over the moon to have won the Shropshire Ladies’ County Merit for a second time,” said the elated bowler from the Bridgnorth-based club.

“It was my third final in three years, after never getting past the semis before, and I couldn’t have beat a better player in the final than Sally!

“Turns out, I can sort of play greens that are sort of running... who knew?!”

King, fellow Wrockite Natalia Moseley and Jade Jones (Prince of Wales Hotel) reached the semi-finals and will join Caswell in representing Shropshire at the British Ladies Merit at Hawcoat in Cumbria on July 13.
