Team 16: Wrockwardine Wood

Wrockwardine Wood have remained in the Shropshire Premier League since the first season.  They finished bottom in the first season of the league with their lowest position and points with 100. But they have improved since then being a consistent mid-table team each season with the odd season being lower down the table or higher up. Their highest finish was 4th in 2005 but their highest number of points was the season before finishing 6th with 199. They have won the Pool B 4 times, and the only team in all three formats. They won it as 12 a side in 2000, 4 a side in 2001 and 8 in 2006 and 2014. They also reached the final of the Alan Mayhew in 2002 and 2003 losing to Sir John Bayley and Donnington Wood respectively. They had an excellent season in 2015, being 34 points better off than 2014 and just missing out on the top 6 by 2 points and 2nd place by 11. But they struggled in 2016 finishing in 11th place, the same as 2014.

Individually Martin Williams won the League Averages in 2002, and they have had one winner each of the Individual Merit and the Mike Hinton Pairs; Dale Downes winning the Merit in 2003 and then the Pairs in 2005 with Rob Jones.
