Thank you to Press Officer Malcolm Fletcher for providing the below report on our sponsorship deal with Reclaim Tax UK.
Shropshire’s top bowlers have celebrated the official launch of a big money sponsorship deal of the county’s senior team by Reclaim Tax UK in winning style.
They are on course for the semi-finals of the British senior county championship after beating qualifying section three rivals Merseyside home and away and by 59 shots overall.
A brilliant 39 chalk win away at Carr Mill in St Helens, featuring a stunning 21-1 card from Bylet’s Scott Harries, was the perfect platform as Shropshire finally got one over their Mersey opponents, who had won the last two meetings in fairly toxic circumstances.
The home side at Hanmer coped with difficult wet conditions on Sunday afternoon to win by 20 and wrap up an overall success that came just days after county officials had sealed the deal with Reclaim Tax UK.
“I’m delighted to now be in a position to announce a sponsorship deal with Reclaim Tax UK which covers a four year period to the value of £4,000,” said county association chairman and safeguarding officer Phil Scott.
“I met with Richard Taylor, CEO of Reclaim Tax UK, at his business premises in Shrewsbury where I was able to collect the new Shropshire senior team shirts which they have provided as part of the sponsorship deal.
“They are also kindly printing all the senior and junior county match programmes free of charge, which we are extremely grateful for, and we look forward to an on-going relationship which benefits us both in the coming years.”
Chris Jones, Group Managing Director of the company, added: “We are incredibly proud and looking forward to supporting and working with Shropshire Crown Green Bowling Association over the next four years.”
Wearing the new shirts, Shropshire were stunning in St Helens with Alex Jones adding to Harries’ heroics with a 21-5 card at No.5 before his fellow Sir John Bayley bowler David Lloyd added a 21-9 in the back four.
