Congratulations go to Newport, Donnington Wood and Highley after 24 hours filled with high drama.
Newport pipped St Georges to the first division championship by the narrowest of possible margins after a thrilling last night on Friday.
They beat lowly visitors Allscott Heath 10-3 even though divisional averages winner and Senior Merit champion John Breeze suffered only his second defeat of the season.
The Dragons, runners-up last year to Horsehay, managed 6 winners at Sir John Bayley but missed out on the three aggregate points by a mere 8 chalks – and the final table shows that Newport’s better agg got them over the finishing line first after both sides tied on 178 points.
Donnington Wood had been in pole position in division 2 for a while and made sure of top spot by beating main title rivals Bylet 10-3 in front of an ecstatic Wendy House.
Then on Saturday 23rd September it was Highley who were celebrating after winning the Harris Cup by battling back from behind to edge Premier League and local rivals Bylet at Sinclair.
It meant they won the coveted trophy for a second time – for details of how they added to their 2019 success see Competition News.
Looking further back, the League’s thanks go to skipper Michael Cooper and the bowlers who represented Mid Shropshire in the Shropshire senior inter-league championship at Chester Road.
They lost to eventual winners Whitchurch A by just 11 chalks but won their other round group game against Tanners Shropshire by 19.
