Taylor Support Shropshire Premier Bowls League
Team: Adderley
2024 Captain: Gary Whitehall
2024 Aim: To learn from last season’s mistakes and find ourselves 30 more points and sneak into the top 10. I think this would be good steady progress for our second season.
2024 Position: 12th
2024 Points: 148
Audlem Special Events Alan Mayhew Trophy: 2nd round (lost to St Georges by 29)
2023 Pool B: Winner
2024 Pool B: Winner
Leading Player: Gary Whitehall 15 wins
Comments: Adderley did improve one position and nine points from 2023 but league wise they would have wanted to progress further. A home defeat to Hanmer was a bad start, but then a big home win over Meole Brace and an away win at Wem USC cancelled that out. Five defeats followed that though, including a whitewash at Hanwood. A home win over Bylet followed, and then a win over Ifton, but after a home defeat to Burway, they won their last five home games, a record for them in the league. It was the cup they enjoyed their biggest success of the season though, winning both Pool B competitions this season. They beat Meole Brace by 33 and Bylet by 4 in two contrasting finals to pick up their first silverware in the league in only their second season, they are yet to be defeated in that competition!
Winter Aims: To keep what they’ve got and to strengthen, but at least two players have moved on so will want to replace those and try and build again and improve.
