Bowlers encouraged to sign up for Premier League club
Bowlers who fancy playing in Shropshire’s elite league have been offered the chance, writes Malcolm Fletcher.
Bylet finished third from bottom of theTaylor Support Premier League last year and have once again made an appeal for new recruits.
Cheryl Caswell, spokeswoman for the Bridgnorth club based on an island in the River Severn told the county’s bowlers: “Bylet Prem team needs you!
“Want a change of scenery this season? Fancy giving the Shropshire Premier a go and playing some of the top players in the county? Or just fancy playing bowls on an island!
“Why not come and join us at the Bylet, with reduced introductory membership for the first year and a guaranteed warm welcome for any new or returning members.”

“Unfortunately Broseley A have had to withdraw from the division two due to a lack of players, but Bowring have entered a second team, making total of 18 teams in the league again this season, with a total of nine in each division
“A proposal was put forward by Sir John Bayley B team regarding creating a rule stating that a game should be declared void if a player is injured during a match.
“The proposal did not get through as British Crown Green Bowling Association rule 9.6 covers this scenario.”
