Leading Player: Colin Smith 19 wins
Comments: Wem had a much better season than in 2023, moving up four places and having no relegation fears at all. They had a good start with a surprise win over Castlefields, but then lost at home to Adderley. However four home wins followed all in double figures, but a shock home loss to Sir John Bayley with just one winner at the turn of the season threatened to derail their home form. They bounced back with two home wins then lost at home to St Georges. They won two more home games, sandwiched by their only away win at the Bylet 10-6. They finished with a home loss to Ifton, albeit with 7 winners, and then 5 winners at Burway to secure 10th place.
Winter Aims: Keep what players they have and maybe sign a couple more to improve squad depth and competition in the squad.
