Bowls round-up: Millward needs a Potteries Panel win as Wraight rules over Bandit Bowls again
There’s little room for manoeuvre for Shropshire bowler Sam Millward in the £4,000 Potteries Panel, writes Malcolm Fletcher.
A finalist last winter, the Wrockwardine Wood man travels to round eight at the Railway Inn at Congleton on Thursday night knowing he can’t afford to lose to Andy Hush.
One win from his three games to date means Millward is languishing low down in the 24-man table and likely to need to go through the play-off process to qualify for next month’s finals night.
Table-topper Callum Wraight faces Ian Homer on what’s billed as a big grass green while Dan Williams meets Mark Hill and Joe Dicken takes on Darren Beardmore.
Week seven at Alsager saw Alex Hassall beat Mark Lunn 29-9 but lose to Darren Kerr 23-17, while Andy Armstrong had a bad night as he went down 26-17 against Aaron Jones and 24-14 versus Josh Towey to slip to ninth place.
