Leaders Castlefields travel to Wem USC, looking to reverse a shock loss their last season in the first game of the season. Wem though have been on a good run lately, they have won their last 6 home games. Sir John Bayley in 2nd need a big win at Hanmer to try and gain again on the leaders. Hanmer captain Dave Ellison says &#8220;we welcome SJB to Hanmer and they don&#8217;t come any tougher as defending champions and County Cup winners. Although we are in our best current form of the season after a home win against Burway and seven winners at Bylet, we anticipate a tough game and with the weather forecast as it is at the moment a challenging green is definitely on the cards.&#8221; Wrockwardine Wood travel to Adderley, a place they haven&#8217;t won at in the league yet. Skipper Connor Whitehall says &#8220;tomorrow\u2019s game will be a tough one for us. We have had 2 decent home results against Wrockwardine in our previous seasons, but they do have a couple of players in the side now that play for us in the Whitchurch league which could make a big difference to the final result.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ifton would need a big ending to get 3rd from Wrockwardine, and would need a big win over Bylet, who know they are safe for another season and could end up in 8th with a solid end to the season. St Georges currently occupy 8th and travel to Meole Brace, a point and place below them. Hanwood host Highley hoping to reclaim 5th from their visitors with 10-4 victory. Burway, below those two teams, will be hoping to take advantage of them meeting as they look for their first win in five as they travel to Horsehay, who will need a great ending to avoid bottom spot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Week 21 Fixtures:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wem USC v Castlefields<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hanmer v Sir John Bayley<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adderley v Wrockwardine Wood<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Horsehay v Burway<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meole Brace v St Georges<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hanwood v Highley<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ifton v Bylet<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top three away, 5th place hopefuls meet, Hoss need a big win All of the top three are away in week 21 of the Taylor Support Shropshire Premier Bowling League.
