Taylor Support Shropshire Premier Bowls League
Monday 28th September
Hadley USC were made to work hard tonight to overcome Prees at Meole Brace and won the match by nine chalks.
Hadley started with the three winners to lead by 20 chalks. In the early stages, Hadley No.1 Ian Thomas was 17-4 up but Phil Beeston recovered to get 16 and help reduce the deficit. In the middle four, Hadley had another three winners and increased their advantage to 24 shots but Prees rallied well in the back four and at one stage with Robin Blackhurst and Grant Hickson leading 19-10 and 19-12 respectively, an unlikely Prees win was on the cards but the Hadley players managed to score the 61 shots they required and will now play Burway in the winners takes all match at Telepost on Wednesday night.
