The League season may have ended but there’s still plenty going on.
Firstly, congratulations go to Wrockwardine Wood’s green-keeping team, led by Tony Garmson, on officially receiving the trophy for the No. 1 green having won the Best In Shropshire honour this year.
Gus and his band of helpers are PICTURED at the presentation ceremony held at the club with representatives of the sponsors.
Secondly, congratulations go to 15-year-old Ellis Griffiths on his stunning success in the Shropshire Champion of Champions at Bicton.
The Prince of Wales Hotel youngster edged out fellow junior Jordon Millman (Sinclair) 21-20 in a thrilling semi-final before beating Welsh county senior team man Keith Wall 18 in the final.
Ellis was a proud semi-finalist in this year’s Mid Shropshire Senior Merit at Donnington Wood and finished the season on a real high in the Dennis Lewis Thursday Division, winning 9 of his last 10 games for Prince B.
The playing action is set to continue on Saturday 24th October with the Allscott Heath Open on the club’s all-weather green with a field of 32 chasing a £300 first prize.
Next week will see a meeting of the League’s sub group to look at rule change ideas – especially surrounding registrations – and discipline and the code of conduct among other things.
Sad news to close . . . John Preece, the well known chairman of Worfield BC, died at his home on 10th October.
His funeral will be on Wednesday 11th November at Stourbridge Crematorium at 11.40am – but those unable to attend are invited to Worfield Cricket Club for refreshments and reminiscing afterwards.
