Taylor Support Shropshire Premier Bowls League
Phil was Hanwood’s main representative in trying to get into the league, and battled hard with the Shrewsbury league officials to try and get their permission to get into the league. He became the first treasurer of the league in 1994, managing to run the league with some decent prize money but also building up a reserve for the league in case it was needed. He played for Hanwood in the four seasons they were in the league for from 1994-1997, but they lost players and had to withdraw in 1998. He stayed loyal to the village club though, playing in the Tanners Shropshire League and helping them win the league to be able to apply for the play-offs. He took part in all but one year of their play-off campaigns, his experience proving vital when they reached the league in 2015. He played one game for them in 2016, but now plays for the second team in the Shrewsbury League, being able to be called upon if the first team are short.
