Below are the teams’ preview of the 2022 season for those who managed to return them to me.
Team: Baddesley
Captain: Tom Lea
Players In: None
Players Out: Phil Brown, Marc Franks & Adam Weaver
Aim for your team:
1. Improve quality of bowling
2. To encourage supporters
3. To enjoy a game of bowls and to socialise with the opposition after the match
Thoughts on the Division: To do as well as we can and to potentially win some money for club funds.
Team: Baldwin
Captain: Jim Kernick
Players In: John Beet & Ryan Walters
Players Out: Roger Hill
Aim for your team: To build on our previous year in 2019 when we gained promotion finishing a creditable second. League structure has obviously changed now and everything has been restructured . Hopefully we can all make this season an enjoyable experience, meeting new clubs and players again, and getting back to the norm (whatever that is). Good luck to all involved.
Team: Belmont Services
Players In: Andy Fearn, Martin Hicks
Team: Hamstead
Captain: Craig Dugdale
Team: Langley
Captain: Sarah Beaman
Players In: Mike Tunstall & Kaye Coulthard
Players Out: None
Aim for your team: It would be nice to finish in the top four.
Thoughts on the Division:
There are some very good teams in this division, and there are certain greens that we have never been to or only played on a small number of occasions. As a club we like a challenge. The Windmill and Woodfield have great greens and sides.
Team: Triplex
Captain: Chris Baker
Team: Victoria Park
Captain: Stuart Edwards
Aim for your team: To enjoy a new adventure with a change of scenery, new greens and new faces, I feel we will have a competitive team that should be looking for a top half finish.
Thoughts on the Division: Looks like a good standard but too many unknowns to make a real judgement
Team: Windmill
Captain: Phil Chester
Players In: Ade Cheadle, Carl & Dan Green
Players Out: None
Aim for your team: Push for Promotion.
Thoughts on the Division: Hard to say as not come up against Baldwin, Triplex or Victoria Park but hopefully we’ll be in the mix at the top of the table.
Team: Woodfield
Captain: Nick Newey
Players In: Scott Taylor
Players Out: Peter Cookson & Stuart Edwards
Team: Wrockwardine Wood
Captain: Martin Gaut
Players In: Martin Williams back playing again
Players Out: None
Aim for your team: Stay unbeaten at home and be around mid table.
Thoughts on the Division: Windmill for the top, bottom hopefully not us!
