Pool A<\/strong><\/p>\n

There were comfortable victories for St Georges and Meole Brace over Castlefields and Hanwood and the two now meet at Hadley USC for a place in the final. St Georges beat rivals Castlefields by 31 on Chester Road with 6 winners, Glyn Picknell the best 21-7. For the Fields only Keith Walton and Rich Goddard responded with a 14 and 16 win respectively. It was even more comfortable at Sir John Bayley as only Greg Smith could win for Hanwood, winning 17, as Meole romped home. Colin Beaman won 7 and Mark Thomas 9 as they won by 40 chalks. Sir John Bayley and Chester Road got byes and will play at Meole Brace No.1 in the other Semi Final.<\/p>\n

Pool B<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wrockwardine Wood won the closest game of the night as they beat Wem USC by 11 on Meole Brace. The Wrockites’ five winners were the key, led by Dale Downes 10, with Wem only getting 3, Scott Thomas the best 11. They will now meet Ifton after they beat Burway by 30. Stand in captain Kieron Roberts comments “we made a good start with a 5 and a 6 winner (by Leighton Roberts and Nicky Jones respectively) but they fought back with two 21-14 wins (by Kiah Roberts and Mark Rogers). Craig Griffiths played well to see out Wayne Rogers 13 and Brian Hayes found some brilliant second bowls to win his game. Simon Tyler edged out Duncan Pressley and I was 18-13 up and lost 18 to Jolyon Partridge.” The two teams will play each other on Meole Brace No.2 green. The other two ties saw the favourites win, Newport beating Bylet by 16 and Bowring defeating Hadley USC by 29. At Bowring, the winners were shared but Dave Rhodes and Alan Davidson’s 8 wins were the difference, with Bylet’s best coming from Mick Harries 11. It was more comfortable for Bowring at Newport as they had 5 winners led by former Huskie Jamie King 6, with Steve Homer the best for Hadley 14, as they now can concentrate on the Playoffs. Bowring will now play Newport on Sir John Bayley bottom green.<\/p>\n
