The Champions the Greville Arms have definitely kickstarted their season after winning 9-3 at league leaders Triplex in week 12 of the Premier Division of the Summit Garage Staffordshire Premier Bowls League. Captain Russ Prosser says it was a “great result for the Greville lads following up last week’s win to get 5 winners and the agg on Triplex was fantastic with some great displays from our boys. UTG!” Best winner for them was Ryan Prosser 21-5 to earn him MVP, while for Triplex it was Dan Bowater best winner 15 and Dan Baller MVP for winning 19. Stretton Anglesey also nearly pulled off a great away win too as they dipped out at Moseley by one chalk 5-5. Spokesman Conor Chamberlain comments on “a good performance from us overall, we can consider ourselves unlucky not to come away with the additional 4 points but can’t grumble with 5 winners away from home.” Darren Carter was best winner and MVP for Stretton 15 with Scott Follis best winner and MVP for Moseley 9.
West Brom FSC sandwich Triplex and Stretton after getting two winners at Willenhall Nordley. Andy Saunders was their best winner 13 and Dan Bennett their MVP for winning 14. For Nordley it was Paul Evans best winner 21-2 and Dave Semper MVP for winning 8. The George continued their winning run with a 7-3 home victory over Boldmere Sports & Social. Matt Price was their best winner and MVP 9. For the away side it was John Evans best winner 16 and Adam Weaver MVP for winning 20. Tanworth in Arden picked up a 7-3 home win over Baldwin to close the gap on their opponents. Mark Gamsby was best winner and MVP for them 4 and Harry Chapman the same for the away side with his 21-9 victory.
