Harris Shield Reaction & Pictures

Shifnal won their first silverware for their Friday night team as they beat Newport by 56 on Bowring. Captain Paul Beer says it was a “very well run night, thanks to all at Bowring and of course Rob Burroughs for running it. Some cracking bowling from both sides in a very respectful game which early could have gone either way, we just managed to see out the games we were well behind on and finish off the ones in front. Fantastic bunch this lot, all got each other’s backs! Making a bit of history for a fairly new member to the division is always going to feel great, on and upwards to the end of the season and see what that brings.”

Thank you to the Bowring for hosting both finals and doing a great job. Thank you to Mike Potter for taking the pictures from the night for both finals.
