Shropshire's Callum Wraight eyeing Memorial win
Shropshire bowls king Callum Wraight should have plenty support tonight as he tries to win the Craig Roberts Memorial Invitation 8 for a second time.
The big name promotion at Rhos Park is part of the New Colwyn Festival on the North Wales coast – and Wraight is not the only county player taking part or through to tomorrow’s finals day.
But first he has a £500 first prize and a title he last won in 2016 in his sights tonight from 5.45pm as he takes on Jack Dyson for starters in a field that includes new British Merit champion Simon Coupe.
Wraight will continue to clock up the miles at the weekend as he heads to Lancaster on Saturday for the £3,700 Carlsberg Marston Invitation 32 at Skerton Liberal Club.
He takes on Cumbrian ace Ian Nicholson for starters but is only ranked third favourite at 6/1 behind Wayne Ditchfield and Coupe, while Castlefields clubmate Rich Goddard – who reached finals day at the Fleetwood Festival – has a first round appointment with Billy Speed.
