Oh we do like to be beside the seaside . . . Shropshire’s super bowlers have booked a place in the final of the British Ladies county championship at Blackpool.
They will take on Warwickshire with the title of national champions at stake on the famous Waterloo green in the seaside resort on Sunday, September 21.
That’s thanks to a 28 chalk victory over Coventry in yesterday’s semi-final, the away side only losing by 18 on the notorious Coundon No 2 green where Lesley Winwood won 21-6 and Jane Archer 21-7.
At home, on Sir John Bayley’s top green, Shropshire produced a clean sweep of the middle led by Doris Nuttall’s 21-9 to secure a 46 shot success that led to scenes of delight all round the venue.
Elated Shropshire Ladies secretary Angela Gaut said: “It was a superb result - and we are really up there with the big guns now.”
* Bowring’s Josh Bradburn reached the semi-finals of the British Junior Merit at Heswall on Saturday - full story tomorrow - and Prince Hotel beat Bricklayers by 32 in the County Consolation Cup final at Meole Brace.
