The League’s reigning Senior Merit champion will give something back when he organises a charity competition on Saturday 9th September at Newport.
John Breeze, who won the coveted title at Bylet in April, has invited 8 senior stars to light up the Audley Avenue club, with all proceeds going to Prostrate Cancer UK.
Topping the bill for John – pictured with sponsor Paul Beer after winning the Merit at Bylet – are Double County Merit winners Keith Pessall and Derek Wright when the action starts at 5.30pm.
“John Breeze is organising it to raise money for Prostate Cancer, something that has affected a number of Newport members in the last 12 months,” said club spokesman Steve Anyon.
“This is the first of a series of events for the charity and there is entertainment after the bowling on Saturday, starting at 8.30pm with Paul Watkins, and it is £5 entry on the door, all raffle proceeds going to prostate cancer.”
Keith Pessall, the first Shropshire winner of the British Veterans Merit, plays homester Bill Titley in round one, when the other pairings are Derek Wright v Dave Price, Graham Handley v Dave Brown, John Clarke v Dave Watkins.
Then on Sunday Mid Shropshire will be hosting the Shropshire junior inter-league championship at Sir John Bayley from 10am, when any support to help the under-18s try to retain the title will be much appreciated.
Many of them warmed up for that six-a-side event in the Fletcher Junior Doubles at the same venue last weekend, which was followed later the same day by two well attended Ashton trophy finals at Wrockwardine Wood – for full details see Competition News.
