First up is Colin Beaman of Meole Brace who takes on Carl Fielding of Warwick and Worcester. Last year&#8217;s runner-up Callum Wraight of Castlefields has what will surely be a loud match against Barry Booth of the Potteries, while further down that quarter Wayne Rogers of Burway takes on Staffordshire&#8217;s Craig Barker, who has signed for Hadley USC when they are short. Burway have another entrant in Duncan Pressley who plays James Wilcox of Yorkshire, with Wrockwardine Wood also having two players in the draw. Rob Fuller takes on another Yorkshireman in Adam Morgan, while captain Tom Langford faces a tough task against Ben Harris of Warwick and Worcester, who nearly signed for Bowring this season. New St Georges signing Lewis Scott plays Mark Burdett of North Midlands, while the in form and defending champion Greg Smith from Hanwood, having won the Les Evans Memorial last week, plays Rikki Higgs from Derbyshire right at the bottom of the draw. The last two Premier League bowlers take each other, new Hadley USC signing James Duce takes on Scott Simpson of Sir John Bayley, who has a 100% record in the league after his 5 games last season.<\/p>\n<p>There will be hot and cold refreshments served all day and the final presentation will be filmed by Mel Evans MBE.<\/p>\n<p>FINALS TO BE HELD ON SATUDAY 2ND APRIL AT ECC BOWLS CLUB<br \/>\nShowell Road Wolverhampton WV10 9LU<\/p>\n<p>BCGBA DRESS CODE APPLIES<\/p>\n<p>START 10.00AM PRACTICE 1 &#8211; 16 9.30<br \/>\n17 &#8211; 32 9.45<\/p>\n<p>1.
