It was a season to forgot for Archibald Worthington as they lost their place in the Flowfit Shropshire Premier Bowling League. Their season was not helped by 5 points being deducted, three for playing an ineligible player and two for being a player short, coincidentally against Wrockwardine Wood both times. They had a good home start though, beating a then flying Meole Brace 10-4 in what was their best performance of the season. But their form came to a sudden halt when they lost by a single chalk against Bylet at home in a 8-6 loss, which was part of\u00a0a 11 match losing streak, including losing by 2 to\u00a0Hadley USC. They however found their winning boots when they beat an understrength Castlefields side 10-4 then beat neighbours Chester Road 11-3 in their best win of the season. They came back from 5-1 down against Sir John Bayley to win 9-5 and then got 5 at the Bylet to keep them in touch with them and after a stunning 11-3 win over St Georges they were 7 points clear going into the final game. However they only got 2 at Burway, and with Bylet winning their last game 12-2, they finished 3 points adrift at the bottom. They faced Hanwood in the playoff at Allscott, but never got going and lost by 46 overall with just 2 winners. So we sadly say farewell to one of our founder members.<\/p>\n

In the Alan Mayhew they lost first round to Hanwood by 25 away and 21 at home, and had to withdraw in the Pool B due to cup commitments.<\/p>\n
