Second placed Castlefields host fourth place St Georges with joint captain Adam Jones knowing \u201cas always a tough game against St Georges who are a good team. We are looking to continue the decent season we have had. To continue giving some of our newer players vital experience which will benefit the club in the future.\u201d Third placed Sir John Bayley play Hanwood with both teams after a top 3 finish. Hanwood joint skipper Mark Shore says \u201ca tough away game as always. We are missing a couple of players so we will hope the draw is favourable and we can pick up a few points.\u201d Wrockwardine Wood will look to take advantage of those playing each other around them as they host Wem USC. Wem though do need the points at the bottom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bottom placed Bylet travel to Burway in desperate need of a bounce back after their home loss to Meole Brace last week. Burway are after a top half finish along with Meole who entertain Hanmer. Hanmer\u2019s home form is keeping them away from trouble but they will want to improve their away form so they can look more up than down. Ifton and Newport are two teams looking more up the table now after a good recent run of form, and travel to two teams certainly looking to keep clear of bottom spot in Chester Road and Highley respectively. Chester Road have enjoyed an upturn in form themselves recently and captain Gary Beff says we are \u201clooking to keep a decent run of home performances up tomorrow night. It is important for us to keep at least a couple of other teams below us in the table.\u201d Highley got a good 6 at Wem last week and have a favourable run of home games to come, but still need to take advantage of them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Week 17 Fixtures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Castlefields v St Georges&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sir John Bayley v Hanwood&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wrockwardine Wood v Wem USC&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burway v Bylet&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meole Brace v Hanmer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Highley v Newport&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chester Road v Ifton\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four of top five meet, big games at bottom Four of the top five meet in week 17 of the Salop Leisure Shropshire Premier Bowling League.
