Bowls: Third title for Shropshire's Callum Wraight
A late ferry dash from the Isle of Man proved worthwhile for Callum Wraight as Shropshire's premier bowler walked away with his third major title of the year.
A late ferry dash from the Isle of Man proved worthwhile for Callum Wraight as Shropshire's premier bowler walked away with his third major title of the year.
It followed the Castlefields' star's victory in the Kings & Queens Classic at Warrington and the Shropshire Merit.
But Wraight required a late change of travel plans to even be in the 16-man finals line-up at Pudsey after reaching the semi-finals of the Isle of Man Festival on Friday, along with Chester Road's Andy Duckett.
Finals night also saw Wraight defeat Altrincham's Dave Baskerville 21-13 while he was a 21-18 victor over Huddersfield's Ashley Daykin.
And the big Shropshire hope will be hoping to carry his title-winning form into next weekend when he returns to Blackpool's Waterloo for his fifth successive appearance in the Champion of Champions.
