In the first semifinal Dave Peach from Castlefields took on the young Michael Beer from the Battlefield Club & while Dave played some good bowls, Michael did not play as well as he can & found some of Dave's marks just to good losing out to 21/9. In the other semi Craig Wilson from Bicton BC & Jesse James of Craven Arms proved to be a much tighter game with Craig justifying is number one spot in the Inter League by just winning the game at 21/20. Moving into the final Dave Peach proved to strong for Craig on the night, assisted with plenty of support from Dave's friends from Castlefields Bowling Club, he played a tight game all across the green & while Craig had a run in the middle of the game Peach held is nerve & ran out a worthy winner at 21/17.

In the semi-finals Duckett beat Birmingham's Colin Weaver 21-20 while Potter saw off Mick Jones (Meole Brace) 21-16. The consolation KO went to James Grimston (Donnington Wood) who beat Shaun Feeney (Castlefields) 21-10. Beaten semi-finalists were W Hand (Llanrhaeadr) and T Moore (Grasshoppers). The last of the three mixed singles is on Sunday 3rd Mar, and once again it's full - with names already on a reserve list. |

| In
this final of the Champagne Cup brings together two teams that have had
contrasting seasons, Castlefields have found life difficult in Division
One but have used this Cup campaign as a safety valve to let off
steam. They survived a very tight game in the first round against
the Crescent but have gone on in leaps & bounds since. They also had
a narrow escape in tha rain affected semi-final before pulling through
to win by 13. By contrast, Perkins Sentinel have had a superb
season running away with the League and with three players at the top of
the aggregates, it just goes to show their domination. They have
had the easier passage through to this final tonight and will relish
their appearance in the spotlight having been together for many years,
indeed some can call on the old Harlescott days together.

 After a disappointed venue both teams turned up as did a large crowd which filled the car park & surrounding roads. Dressed in their new tops supplied by J.Rogers & Sons, young Scott Newland led Castlefields on this large crown green which was not to his liking & got dumped 11/21 against Roger France, Paul Walker & Andy Bound played some good bowls which pumped up the crowd to what turned out to be a good evening of support & sportsmanship, Dogger finally won 21/17, Captain Mike Thomas found some ridges & played them slightly better than Mark Hill winning 17 & at number four we saw the left handed, Mick Pritchard who now loves this green, turning over Vince Knight with a great 21/8 win.... |

Callum Wraight followed him on against Mark (sparky) Price & after a great game from both bowlers, Callum won 21/17. & at number eight the almost a Premier League player Kevin Price took their Captain Steve Flynn to the cleaners winning 21/9... |

Number nine saw big Al Rogers lose out to John Griffiths 14 & at ten we saw the best game of the evening with Tony Parry winning Stuart Ward at 21/20 with tight bowls & plenty of support, Perkins sensed that they could pull this one out of the bag when the game could of gone either way, at eleven Rob Jones added fuel to their fire after playing a nightmare on this difficult green against Derek Jones & lost out 5/21, Last on saw Ned Kelly just losing 17/21 against Stewart Smale but it was just enough to ease out the Perkins lads...
In the end Castlefields won by 4 chalks, Tony Gibbons thanked all players, supporters, referee Fred Morrell, the markers & of course the Preston Brockhurst Bowling Club, he also apologized for Steve Lloyd from Tanners Wines who could not make the match and thanked Dave Card for presenting the Trophies to the winning Captains.
