SWEET VICTORY GOES TO OSBC 'A' TEAM!
Old Shrewsbury's A team took to the greens at Meole Brace Bowling Club on the 7th of September, to play Greenfields Bowling Club in the final for the Scadding Cup.

Pictured above are the winning players - John Griffiths, Derek Jones, Kev Farr, Russell Lea, John Harris, Rich Jones, Wendy Jones and Christie Hughes.
THE BILL FRANCIS TROPHY COMPETITION 2024
As you can probably remember, Sunday, 8th of September was a complete washout, with the rain hammering down relentlessly from early morning until late afternoon. (It was noted that the BBC weather reported that the amount of rain that fell, was the second largest amount since records began!).
It was with heavy hearts, therefore, that the decision to postpone this event was taken. However, it is planned to rearrange it in the new year so that Billy can be remembered and money raised for the Severn Hospice.
SOCIAL BOWLING ANNUAL COMPETITION 2024
This annual competition took place on the afternoon of Friday, the 23rd of August, and 28 social bowlers took to both greens to bowl under an all-too-rare warm, summer sun. After a hard fought competition, Janet Clark was the overall winner, with Anne Murphy taking second place and Graham Dunn third. Dave Welch was the lucky winner of the "Spider". As always, the competition was a great success, with everyone having fun while raising funds for the club. A big thank you must go to Janet and Derek Clark for their organisation of the social bowling (and this competition) for 2024. Thanks also go to Chris Kershaw for being the neutral adjudicator once again, and Simon Allmark for taking photos.
