Sixteen line up on Boxing Day bowls in Shropshire
It’s all systems go for a slice of Boxing Day bowling in Shropshire.
The minimum requirement of 16 entries have been taken for a one-day competition of round robin games and knockout ties at Adderley from 10am.
It’s the third such competition of the winter run by North Shropshire Parks chief Jamie Brookes and entry costs £12, with £10 going to the prize fund for the day, £1 to the host club and £1 to the Parks.
“We have 16 definite names down, with between five and 10 bowlers who have said they’re looking at coming along,” confirmed Brookes.
The round robin games are 13-up and handicapped and anyone wanting to enter on the day should report to the village club’s green near Market Drayton for 9.30am.
Sunday, January 8, will see the resumption of the Parks’ winter series, bowlers having raised more than £520 for Save The Children with the traditional Christmas jumper and fancy dress days at Wem USC and Tilstock.
