The 2024 Shropshire Vertidrain & Turf Services finals today at Broseley has a quality line-up of 16 of our best players, 5 of them previous winners. Reigning champion John Breeze looks to regain the title he won 12 months ago, and faces Dave Price of Hadley USC first game. Former winner, and sponsor of this competition, Paul Beer aims to win it again but has a tough opener against another former champion in Stuart Church. Stuart’s son Harry won the Division One Averages in 2022, and has team mate Simon Madeley first game. Les Mumford is another former winner in the field, and will have some extra green knowledge from playing on Broseley in the Highley league. Les takes on Hadley USCs former County Junior Merit winner Nick Mullinder first game, while his team mate Chris Lodge is against former finalist Kate Wainwright at the top of the draw. Roy Bradburn is yet another former winner in the field, and has Wrockwardine Wood stalwart Rob Clarke first up. There is an all female clash as we look for the first female winner of this competition, with Carleen Doody-Millington taking on Sian Skelton, who was runner up in the Mixed Doubles last Sunday. Two other team mates collide as Staffordshire’s Darrell Handley takes on John Davies, both playing this year at Shifnal.
It promises to be a cracking night at Broseley with a 6.30 start, the first 5 games going on to speed up the night. There will be scores updated here.
