Big competitions set to be filled up completely
The full house signs are being brushed off for the double header of open bowls competitions in Shropshire that will launch the 2024 season.
Just six of the 128 places are left in the £2,650 Edgmond Open, a new comp being run by Rob Burroughs that will reach a climax with finals day on Saturday, April 6.
And there only 30 vacancies remaining out of 256 in the £5,600 Coors Meole Brace Open, the Champion of Champion qualifier also being promoted by Burroughs.
“If bowlers are looking to enter the Meole they should please do it now as I reckon it will fill by March,” said Burroughs.
