Adderley shock Wrockites, Hanmer and Fields edge home
Adderley shocked 2022 Champions Wrockwardine Wood after beating them by by 18 in the 1st round of the Audlem Special Events Team Alan Mayhew Trophy. Captain Gary Whitehall says it was “a good start in the cup for us, winning the first 6 games made it difficult for Wrockwardine to turn it around. Our best home performance would be our Phil Jones (best winner 9) and I believe Josh Cotton played very well for our opponents at Wrockwardine (best winner 9).” At Adderley Martin Williams was best winner for the Wrockites 6 to limit the damage to 13 there, but Tom Killen and Jamie Brookes both won 8 for Adderley to win by 5 at Wrockwardine Wood. Hanmer edged home past Meole Brace by 8, winning by 23 at home and losing by 15 away. Alan Faulkner was best winner at home 7 and Ieuan Pugh away 15. For Meole it was Aiden Hughes best winner 4 at home and Chris Jones 8 away.
Highley put up a lot more fight than last year after only being beat by Castlefields by 11 rather than the 100 last season! They won by 16 at home, with Jacob Ash best winner 9, and had two winners away led by Phil Chester winning 18. The Fields were thankful for Gary Neal winning 8 away, and Callum Wraight being best winner 10 at home to win by 27 there. Hanwood defeated Horsehay by 30 overall, winning by 40 at home with Wayne Phillips leading the way 21-9. Away and Horsehay won by just 10 with best winner being Richard Jones 12. Mark Shore’s 3 win was imperative to keep the damage down. The other game saw the holders Sir John Bayley get past Bylet by 79 overall, winning by 69 at home and 10 away. At home, Chris Worthington was best of a full house 21-2, and away Owen Evans was best 14. Rob Fuller was best winner at home winning 17 for the Islanders.
