Hadley survive a scare
Tuesday 29th September 2009, 10:42AM BST.
“No wonder I’ve got grey hair” lamented Hadley USC skipper Phil King as he watched his side limp into a Furrows Shropshire Premier Bowls League pre play-off decider tomorrow.
King cut a shell-shocked figure in the immediate aftermath of a nervous nine chalk victory over Prees last night at Meole Brace.
It earned the Worthington Mid Shropshire League champions a showdown with Ludlow League winners Burway at Telepost No 2 for the right to face Childs Ercall on Friday.
But it was far too close for comfort against Market Drayton champs Prees, King admitting: “It was a helluva struggle.
“At the end of the day we won the game, but we will need to play better against Burway – and hopefully we will.
“But all we can do is take it one game at a time.”
