Report by James Garrison- Shropshire Star<\/p>\n

Bylet displayed premier pedigree to preserve their place at the top table of Shropshire bowls \u2013 and inflict a second successive play-off heartache on Burway. The top flight wooden-spoonists ran out 15-chalk winners over the Tanners Shropshire League champions in last night\u2019s play-off final at Meole Brace. It was an outcome that was rarely in doubt after Bylet \u2013 who won seven of the 12 games \u2013 spiked Burway\u2019s big guns in a crucial first four. And it was fitting that Mick Harries, in his last match as captain of Bylet, should provide the winning chalk on the showpiece occasion of Shropshire bowls shortly after 9.30pm. One glance at his order emphasised that Duncan Pressley, skipper of the Ludlow-based premier league wannabes, was anxious to get off to a flying start. But it failed to materialise with Bylet winning three of the first four matches to lead by two in front of a crowd well in excess of 300. Pressley led by example for his side by defeating Rob Fuller 21-8. But a 21-17 victory for Simon Homer over Burway\u2019s star performer Wayne Rogers gave Bylet the early momentum. Crucial Richard Morris made up for a slow start by easing to a 21-11 triumph over Len Lewis while Andy James edged out Mark Rogers 21-20. Trailing by two, Burway\u2019s hopes fell on the shoulders of Simon Parsonage on the green where he played a crucial role in helping Shropshire lift the Crosfield Cup. Parsonage looked to have risen to the big occasion and, as he led Dave Ellis 18-10, the big victory Burway required looked possible. But Ellis staged a senstational fightback to run out a 21-19 winner, supplemented by victories for Paul Lill and Chris Chamberlain \u2013 to 15 and nine respectively \u2013 to put Bylet on the brink. Burway\u2019s resistence in the middle was provided by Kiah Roberts, the 16-year-old once again highlighting his potential with a 21-16 triumph over Kevin Brazier. Despite their supporters being silenced by events on the green, Burway continued to battle to the end \u2013notching three winners in the back four including a 21-20 victory for Chris Dovey over Harries. But the hard work had already been done by their Bridgnorth-based opponents and a 21-15 triumph for Nick Powner over Russell Davies put the finishing touches to an outcome which was inevitable from a long way out. It may have been a tough season \u2013 but this was Bylet\u2019s night. The final was preceeded by a minute\u2019s silence for former Sir John Bayley bowler Steve Nicholls who died suddenly following a heart attack on Thursday.<\/p>\n
