Shropshire men return to action in bowls opens
The open bowls competition circuit is nearly back to normal – and Shropshire men are in the thick of the action.
Clay Flattley, now back with Sir John Bayley, was unlucky to miss out on a shot at a £600 first prize in the Woodfield Open when beaten 21-20 by eventual winner Dan Bodley in the semi-finals.
Fellow Bayley Boy Paul Evans and Wrockwardine Wood star Stuart Rutter were quarter-finalists at the Wolverhampton club.
Tomorrow (SAT) sees Castlefields clubmates Callum Wraight and Rich Goddard in a 32-strong field for the one-day Tom Barron Open at Woodplumpton in Preston while Martin Gaut (Sdt Georges) has a £560 top prize in his sights on Sunday.
That’s at the finals of the £2,440 Allens Green Open in Radcliffe, Manchester, where Yorkshire stars Chris Mordue and Graeme Wilson start as favourites in the last 16.
