There was more success for Salop Leisure Shropshire Premier Bowling League Players as they took nearly half the qualifying spots in the ECC and CCF Opens last weekend. Callum Wraight of Castlefields led the way by qualifying at the ECC on Saturday Morning, with team mate Andy Judson getting close to joining him, losing 17 to Danny Sillitoe. Callum beat Simon Green 7, James Duce, who is signing for Bylet this season, 17 and then Geoff Boulton in the qualifier 13. Andy had beaten Matt Bates 5 and then edged past Nathan Dawes of Dudley Dell 20, before just dipping out. Pete Farmer of Newport qualified that afternoon, beating Kieron Roberts of Ifton 18, Rich Burdett 20 before easing past Dave Bowen 6 in the qualifier. Duncan Pressley had to beat two Shropshire players on his way to qualifying after defeating\u00a0last year’s CCF Open champion Kez Smith first round 21-18. He beat Stuart Rutter of Wrockwardine Wood, who won the most MVPs last season, 9 before beating Sonya Lucas of St Georges 17 to qualify. Greg Smith completed the qualifiers at ECC for the league by dispatching Keith Hatzer 6 and John Brown 17.<\/p>\n
Over at West Brom and Pete Grimston from St Georges beat Sir John Bayley’s Scott Simpson 14 to qualify. He beat Steve Dicken 13 and Kev Handley 7 to get there while Scott had seen off team mate Gary Cooper 18 and Dave Watters 9. Pete’s team mate Paul Beer also got to the qualifier, after beating Sir John Bayley’s Paul Evans 12, before losing to Phil Lee 12. On the Sunday and Craig Wilson claimed some good scalps beating Stuart Perry 19, Stuart Mort 20 before dispatching former St Georges player Carl Hazlehurst 6 in the qualifier. There were three league players in the qualifiers in the afternoon, with Ifton’s Andy Hughes the only one coming out on top, despite\u00a0being game down against Jamie King, the new Bowring captain. Andy beat Chris Firth 13 and then Paddy McGuinness 9 before edging Jamie out 19, but Jamie had the consolation of beating one of the top players in the county Graeme Wilson 14 in the 2nd round after overcoming Paul Dale 16 in the 1st. Martin Gaut of Wrockwardine Wood also reached the qualifier but lost to reigning champion Kez Smith 14 after taking out two Hughes’, Mark 15 and Nick 17, in the first two rounds.<\/p>\n
