Taylor Support Shropshire Premier Bowls League
We have 14 qualifiers heading to Florence and trying to follow in the footsteps of Callum Wraight last season. Former Merit winner and runner up in this competition Wayne Rogers of Burway hopes to go one better and takes on Steve Donavon to start with. Other county players taking their place tomorrow include Meole Brace’s Colin Beaman, who plays Kevin Handley, and Wayne Phillips from Hanwood, who has Joe Melvin first round. Wayne’s team mate Greg Smith, the 2015 winner, will want to reclaim his trophy and plays Willie Owen first round. There are three young guns in the field with Bowring’s Josh Bradburn first on against Andy Milson, while Martin Gaut of Wrockwardine Wood takes on Rich Burdett (Mnr) and Meole Brace’s Scott Moseley competing against Jordie Baddeley. Salop Leisure Shropshire Premier Bowling League Averages Winner Pete Farmer from Newport will fancy a good run but has a tough game in former winner Steve Pratt. St Georges team mates Ian Gaut and Tony Rhodes take on Mick Bacon and Andy Runham respectively and Rich Lawson of Bowring has Dave Semper first round, while Mark Taylor from Castlefields plays Matt Allen. Aaron Tapper, who has played a game for Sir John Bayley this season, plays Bary Booth and James Duce of Bylet is against Harry Chapman.
SCGBA would like to wish all 13 qualifiers the best tomorrow.
