Record 1 of 25: Smallest Margin

We look at 25 records of the Taylor Support Shropshire Premier Bowling League. The first being the smallest number is the smallest margin between two teams in the league.

The closest ever finish between two teams was Castlefields and St Georges in 2011 when they were level on 225 points, 17 Matches won and 191 games won, but Castlefields finished 11 chalks higher on aggregate and took 3rd place, which earned them £125 extra for finishing in the higher place.

At the top, Castlefields and Sir John Bayley were level on points in 2024, with Castlefields winning the league because they had won four more games.

The smallest margin at the bottom has been 0 points and just 31 chalks between Newport and Archibald Worthington in 2004 when the two had to play off to see who finished bottom, Newport winning that to be placed 13th, despite technically finishing bottom on 4 less Games Won.

The smallest margin between top and bottom is 76 in two seasons. In 1994 Battlefield finished on 186 in 1st and Wrockwardine Wood on 110 in 12th, and in 2002 St Georges finished on 216 and Childs Ercall on 140.
