The Harris Cup Final tonight at the Bowring at 6.30 p.m. sees Premier League Champions Sir John Bayley take on record 16 time winners St Georges. There is only three chalks separating the two teams, just like the Harris Shield final.
Both teams are missing some key players, but they have still named quality line ups. There are several ex Bowring players on either side, with two clashing at number one with St Georges captain Josh Bradburn taking on Reece Farr from the Bayley, and another two at number four with John Cooke playing Ayden Smith. Former Premier League Averages winner Alex Jones plays St Georges stalwart Tony Rhodes at number 5, with number 6 seeing Dan Taylor tackle the in form Joe Killen. St Georges pair Gordon Hawkins and Chris Ward play against the team they left last season, playing Stuart Rutter and Tom Roden respectively.
Bayley vice-captain Tom Roden says “everyone’s looking forward to Saturday night, and I hope there’s a decent crowd at the Bowring for what should be a closely fought final between two of Telford’s top teams.” Opposition skipper Josh Bradburn is “really looking forward to the game, it’s always great to get to a final! It’s against a tough opponent in the Bayley but I feel like we have got the quality to cause an upset”
