Castlefields are so close to title now
Saturday 16th August 2008, 11:50AM BST.
Eleven points clear with six games to play – Castlefields are almost home and hosed in the Furrows Shropshire Premier Bowls League title race after beating visiting Ifton 10-4 last night.
That means the spotlight is on the battle at the bottom to avoid the wooden spoon – and Donnington Wood made a move despite losing 13-1 at high fliers Wem USC.
For second bottom Childs Ercall were whitewashed at Ford to see their safety cushion cut to just three points.
Full details:
Castlefields 10 (+40, Kevin Walker 21-7), Ifton 4 (Andy Hughes 21-10); Wem USC 13 (+117, Mel Jenkins & Ian Dowley 21-3), Donnington Wood 1 (Tom Cooper 21-18); Ford 14 (+85, Dave Hoffman 21-9), Childs Ercall 0 (Graham Wood 19-21).
