Newport won the battle of the Shropshire bowls big guns to land a semi-final spot in the County Cup.

Dale Rudrum's side were 11 shot winners over Castlefields at Prees last night in the clash between the last two winners of the Furrows Shropshire Premier League.

Chester Road remain on course for the treble – they are top of the table approaching the halfway stage and in Saturday's final of the Alan Mayhew Trophy – by continuing their defence of the Glynn Hill Trophy with a 231-190 triumph over Bowring at Telepost.

St Georges had few problems seeing off Battlefield 249-174 at the Elephant & Castle in Shawbury, but Hanwood will fly the non-Premier flag in the last four after sweeping to a comfortable 68-chalk triumph over Burway.
